ATHENS

Athens stone of sapphire of ground the Ring… “

“..

Kostis Palamas

Years rooted here

less than the rich

sunlight

Greek light

stone chisel

coalesce with the Gods

with souls, with ideas and names

***

Petals of roses

fall to earth

Centuries browse

under the marble sculptors

invincibles

columns of the Parthenon

***

With the golden armor

hand and the sword

Athena, goddess of the city

pilgrims who

searching for the way

Immortal spirit of the Greek

leads

«Greece before

the sort of glorious years

never fade

why is unfading Sofia »

***

My friends and my acquaintances

Flowers on tree clones

flourished and matured

all these years

from the weight they fell

in this ground

where wounded bird

in the fog from the current invaders it resembles

***

Athens

Eternal Beauty soil glorious

lightning capture tools

the cloud and the Star

Atticus Sky

each new day

crowned with ancient ideals

***

New Sun, New route

A Golden City

there always remains hidden

the handful of God

hiding
