Birth

On earth the small island

thousands of young storks

they go to sea, they arrive running.

With evening sky

our home destination

they flutter a nest they do!

On earth the small island

a child arrives

of God’s path for years.

he lets out his first cry

of joy is anticipation

he shines like a white viconia.

We all set up a dance

in our own sky

anticipating songs of the wind

which brings us to you

treasure of the whole world

my perfect sea angel!

I will drink you like wine

giving you a kiss

it resurrects from the darkness!

You bring the light with you

clothed in purple

you sleep in hugs and caresses!
