Νησιά στο Φως-Αμοργός [A Matter of Shade]

Under the Sun

There it all lies in a magnificent standstill

So naked in its purity

Helpless in its captivation

The depth of all meanings

Helpless and  on its bear feet

Am I what you can't stand  perceiving

Am I my statement and my claim upon the Seasons of boarders

There it all stands

Vulnerable, such as the balance between flesh and soul

claiming its vain harmony

There, 

in its ultimate light captivation

far from its undeniable temptation

A thin shadow on the fading horizon lines

A thick light in the sea's sublime reflections

So obvious to deny

Such a crack in time to measure

You wished to cry out loud

but you stopped

You wished to broke it all down

but again you just silenced your scream

You wished a full pray

but you abandoned yourself from any god

Quite the contrary 

to all great expectation, 

again,

same story of an undeniable giving in

same shame of an irresistible getting away with it all

Then I thought to myself

Isn't it really odd

Sometimes I call it Seasons

and some others Islands in the Light

Yet

all the same it remains

in the crack of my Times

Just the fading phenomenon of being quest 

It was never the island

It never even was the season

Neither was the color 

It all has been a matter of shade!

 

And

Let It be so
