In memory of David Willis, who had so much to offer. His departure leaves a void…
Lakkia
Wind gently wrapping my body
as my soul unwinds;
Marveling at nature’s majesty,
fields of wheat, fig and olive trees, swaying to rhythm;
Lone tzitzikas setting 4/4 time,
where time has given way to music,
the music of nature,
harmonizing with surroundings,
built with dedication and love, synthesizing with the mountains
Its inhabitants,
active participants in a life balanced,
by lyric symmetry and fruit
of the untiring land
Not letting the hyphen
after year of birth,
reflect a void,
but a vibrant tribute to moderation
