CRETAN SERENITY

Blue water
sea shells carpeting
harmonious contours


Blue Haze

Facing north,
from where the winds blow;
Reflecting on blue,
azure waters

Blues of despair 
or optimism?


Removed

From daily encumbrance ,
feeding our cortisol;
Why are these moments frowned upon
By bureaucratic pariahs?


Holiday

A piece of European life,
enigma in the US;
Refreshing and invigorating,
swinging needle towards balance

When the end to the voyage approaches,
what will you have accomplished 
towards your sanity?


Helios Invictus

SPF a facade;
Helios rules,
uncovering all,
including the mirage


Europa Unbound

You lured the big one,
forever changing the game;
The land of your people,
contours of infinite beauty,
colors of nature;
Reflected  in the food,
generosity and spirit;
Joined by melodies of music and light,
resulting in the Cretan synthesis


Synglossa

Where languages
accent the morning area;
Children, adults
conversing in daily rhythm

Sunlight brightening the present,
Unlike the past;
Seekers from the north relaxing, absorbing the south


Hormonal Reactions

Blonde by the pool,
striking provocative pose;
Teenage bucks,
frolicking, trying to impress;
Crossed signals
in the land of Ariadne and Zeus
