The First Lights of the Day

------------------------

(by Seabell)

The first lights of the day

When I first think of you

With passion, certitude and fear…

Strong tea and decadent cake

Vivid materializations of my

Stubborn rages and meek essence…

The liquid quality of the words

Surfacing the density of the night

The stretches of river yet to walk

The predictable and the unknown

The aim, the boat and its fragility

Amazing colors, shapes and names

Paths to discover, stories to thrill…

Simple pieces of a simple mechanism:

Life intensely lived, words, you and me

(These are a few of my favorite things.)
