Today the sea is flat,
Calm as a saucer of milk.
Licks of a light breeze
Ripples the surface,
I watch its undulations
Gently slap stone beach
Then dissipate from bus window
On morning rush to work.
A pier, white as June clouds,
Pushes out to the horizon
Where a boat sits, inviting
You to pick a flag under
Which to sail:choose servitude or freedom,
Though there promises are lies.
Along the esplanade
Walkers walk slow,
Bikers drift on the soft wind
Which hardly lifts
The red and white flag
Into the pale blue sky.
If summer is for lovers,
Spring is for the dreamers;
The promise of what could be
Is everywhere:
On the branches of trees,
In swollen bellies,
Yellow dafs yelling
In green, uncut fields.
Today everything is calm,
Mother Nature's embrace,
Makes me feel like an infant
In awe of her majesty;
Today everything is calm.
