On a Day When the Wind is Perfect

On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.

My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life
that it always keeps

each morning.

The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.

There is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.  Arms move around me;
who contain their self before my beauty?

Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun and less narcissistic;
gregarious he makes our lips

On a day when the wind is perfect
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.

Today is such
a day.
