I am the sea and the ocean, the captain of my ship, under this firmament.

I am the volcano and the ice of Antarctica…

I am this world that adorns me with forests and rivers,

That embraces me with its cities and washes me with its rains.

I am the sea and the ocean, the captain of my ship, under this firmament.

I am the volcano and the ice of Antarctica,

The most beautiful image of him,

I am the sister of every brother,

I just separate myself from the war.

My life is this most beautiful garden of a forgiving soul,

My heart preserves its identity and loves the whole world…

***

Travnik-1The desire of dreams

I want someone to wake me up in the morning to offer me his sighs,

With a look to hug me hands to tender breasts to rush.

To receive kisses as a gift for love it’s not a thing when you truly love,

The heart and first love get over it.

A gentle breeze from the pocket to wake us together,

Behind him the sun to offer us its splendor, to carry us to our dream sphere.
