To Gentle Winds
I give those dewy driblets,
settled on silky grass
Reflecting hues of aquamarine calls.
Those wondrous cradles of the
singing stars,
Thy rose illuminating high,
Thy solid Hope of Harmony to share,
Thy crystal moment playing Ocarina,
If not embracing me...
For what is love to be
in blue immensity?
I give them all to sweet eternity!
*
And then, I squeeze the liquid melody,
From impeccable vers of pantheistic law,
For which Thy Grace of Heaven only cares,
To wash the human feet of Mighty Lord!
*
O gentle winds, of the uncommon World,
I wish to be Acacia tree to hold you dear,
When three wiser men,
Would come to see again,
How from penumbra of Alcyone-Star,
An echo in the heart with gifted ear,
still parachuting down
Is stalking me to sing delightful song,
For you to hear!
