On the cliffs of the Algarve we breathe – deeply
the wings of the untamed wind
and dreams cease to be merely waves
I let the ocean lift you and I
without maps, compass or the compromise of buoys
we count no more the lanterns in the sky –
the night is no stranger even to lost seabirds
we sail in triumph with sheets unfurled
pushed through the morning mists
behind the cliffs thoughts swirl
too much carbon dioxide –
ecologists rebuke us (mercilessly)
for these flames that blaze
without limit sparking in our hearts
