Formentera - a poem


And now I leave you here

Golden island, magic island

Your beaches are like jewels

In the Mediterranean crown

Your towers stand guard

Your dusty tracks trace dreams

And your warm breezes

Caress like silk and oil.


I'll never forget you, sweet one,

Home of homes, little paradise

Broken souls mend in your arms

Sea shells guard your secrets

Precious thoughts bury in your sand

Your moonlight is like velvet

Your nights, keepers of promises

Cicadas and hoopoes and silence.


Stay for me always

Don't ever change

Keep your arms open

Illuminate this jewel, sun

Sea, roll your waves to its shore

Guard the magic well, moon

Wind, bring secrets from Africa

Formentera, keep your soul.
