Cobalt Sea

(To Pachi)

I swim and I know that Neptune watches me and that muses are all around me.

Greece, magical place, home of my past life

I remember Alexander as I dive into your cobalt sea

Your volcanic islands keeping sacred secrets, your white statues look at me from the hills

I feel alive here, the sun shines over me

I know this is a deep sea and I swim unafraid

O Greece, your olive trees, your white houses your blue sky..your pebbled beaches

and me swimming in your cobalt sea....
