Me calmé y floté por todos los maravillosos animales en el delta de Okovanga.
Deslizándose a través de los aros de los juncos reflejados y los lirios perfumados de la noche
'I calmed, and floated by all the wonderful animals in the Okovanga delta
Slipping through hoops of the reflected reeds and night scented lilies'

El sol pega y tu estas
Sorprendentemente brillante entre un lúgubre
paisaje invernal
Allí para el tapping de un mes
antes de la primavera
De un rico y saludable néctar
Para el refugio de una dulce canción

Into the blue
That's you
Kind and clever
As ever
Oh how you are missed
But into the blue
You insist
Paradise lost is she
And into the blue
Must be
Forever more
Leaving the shore
And into the blue
You persist
Swimming amongst turtles,
Mantas and fishes
Into the blue
True are your wishes
Following dolphins and a great white
One would think fright you might
But not
Little you
Ecstatic in the blue!
Are you looking or seeing?
Are you hearing or listening?
Are you trusting, your feelings
The joy of it, the hurt
Are you noticing
The light?
The light on a leaf, through a leaf
The winter berries, like jewels (dazzling) glimmering on a breeze
On water, in water
The sound on water, in water
The water in between
At first light the water in between petals and blades of fresh green grass
Hearing the shapes of autumn leaves as they crisply slide past one another as you shuffle your way through childhood memories
Hearing the sweet chirp of birds near and far
embracing the light before it fades too early
In winter
That’s my favourite rose,
Well actually
This is the one I love the most
…but my favourite is that one
The absolute best scent comes from this rose, the ultimate rose
I could die for this rose and the only reason to live is for this rose
The other one, there…. the petals…If it wasn’t for that rose, well
This rose is outrageous
Don’t you just love the delicacy of this rose, the colour, the blousyness and heady scent of this rose just drives you wild, it must be my other favourite
Anyone would love it
Well did I say I have a favourite rose
You wouldn’t believe it if I told you…. It’s impossible to say
Whose nose?
Who knows?
Which rose!
What an old dog
This old dog
Taught me this
Taught me that
Never judged me
Or made a comment
On how I wear my hat
Helped me take the time to think
To appreciate all that life itself can bring
Showed true love, kindness, understanding and devotion
How to be slow
How to grow
How to grow old
How to be patient
What an old dog
This old dog
My old dog
