Blanket

(for D)

At the end of each long and tiring day

Your embrace is that place

Where my soul, like day, without drama

Peacefully surrenders itself to the night.

Fishing boats know this by heart

When the sea, a blanket of quiet and calm

Perfectly mirrors the uncomplaining sky

With its tangerine sun and cerulean clouds.
