The Single Minded Nature - Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke

Nature, with romantic monoty

plans the spring of our life

copying its own adolescent dreams.

Flowers, flowers slightly different

in colour and flourishing moments

flowers that with their movements signify

the noble origin of a garden

or the wildness of vegetation.

Winds travel

hair blows about

breasts open to the sun

and immediately the traces of kisses dry out.

Spring, so close to the beginning

to greenery, to bees;

the voice of the universe is always youthful.

Yet how monotonous, how boring

this endless light of life

that you will never see cut off

and the more it repeats itself

the more grateful you are

     — ❋❋❋ —

While the sunset

offers so much variety!

Every soul imagines it differently

and it will be different when it comes

in a different moment, dressed in a different way

emitting some kind of mystery perhaps.

Purple clouds deceive you

and when they succumb

to their black self

you think that it was all your imagination

that you had poetically conceived

another utopia.

In essence it is the end the one

that never experience the monotony

of existence

the repetition of the self.
