Homeland

I still remember the days of hazy heat
can't forget the sweetness of the nights
mellow landscapes of forever child,

the touch of the sea at night, dark,
gently swaying - the seaweed that gets
entangled round my unsuspecting hand

the old ancient language keeps coming
back - its words like flowers of stone
bloom in the medows of my mind -

and an old childeren's rhyme keeps chanting
keeps repeating in my head - is, like
maybe a sign, of a new turn in time
