A FOOTPATH

A footpath of dreams
sleep housed you

by the riverbed
now sea voices of birds

in a chorus from the dunes
sing along the stones

outside your window
a brush of breezes

on the tall grass
off the sandy cape shore

winds wrap up our morning
in a landscaped favor

in the light of swans
near the ocean kayaks

by the juniper tree
departing all lamentations

a poet in the home harbor
nearby the family waters

writes his diary
on the port of call 

turning away from
the Venetian blinds

to awaken by the gates
of the city at first light

carrying figs, dates
pomegranates, dry fruits

Autumn welcomes us
our footsteps by sailboats

near eagles and swallows
by leaves on the branches

the wellspring mouth opens
a poet's words for the future.
