my woman's transparence
has the whole sea
as its mirror
my sea-spray is born
of the salt of its peaks
my mother plays echo
to its thunder
and to its murmurs
we were
as one sea-swell
when we strode
towards land
has the whole sea
as its mirror
my sea-spray is born
of the salt of its peaks
my mother plays echo
to its thunder
and to its murmurs
we were
as one sea-swell
when we strode
towards land
we joined hands
