Memory
Did you ever hear
the sigh
of love lost likes
and the cry
of a far bird
in the quiet
of a moon night
and the tear of a star
fallen afar
within the spendid light
of a fine summer sky
and the whispering tremble
of a small soul in love ?
It's like the sea song
that muffles
at sunset on the shore
like wind, that softly ruffles
fronds and hairs
like your lips when you claim
a still murmured name
