Black, eternal sea.
Myriads of Suns blazing in the night.
Swimming when the weather is not hot
in water clear as ice.
Darkness – my sunglasses.
Without shopping, noise and fatuity
my love to caress,
dreamily ships to observe,
under the hat far to voyage,
in birds new friends to find;
that is what I wanted.
