so long ago

 6 august 2025


so long ago now it all began

so long since the nightingale sang

but

didI dream that mythic bird

which  in fact  I never heard

such sweet song the poet's say

 I will hear it one summer's  day.


locked in a seascape now for 20 years

no songbirds meet my happy ears

but seagulls pass and screech their words

I understand so well these birds.


as their soar in brilliant skies\

I do not need to close my eyes

to imagine their flight

into every sunset's night.


Amen
