I find an old key in my pocket. What does it unlock?
It unlocks the heart of my beloved.
I take a closer look at the key, squinting to make out the
words etched on its handle, and I read the following inscriptions:
Speak kind, compassionate, soothing words
Forgive the faults and forget the pain
Be present in the moment and see the good in everything
I follow the prescriptions of the inscriptions and the gate
to my beloved’s heart opens once more.
Sunrise, sunset
There are moments in life that I live for
Holding you in my arms during sunrise is one of them
Sunrise, sunset
Life is fleeting every day
There is always a beginning and an end to every life
Sunrise, sunset
Why are we oblivious to the magic of every day
Night gives birth to day, and day gives birth to night
Sunrise, sunset
We are born every morning and die every night
Blessed am I to spend the moments between my birth and death with you
Sunrise, sunset
Watching the sun rise in all its glory awakens my soul
Watching the sun set reminds me of our mystical encounter
Sunrise, sunset
They looked like wild creatures coming out of the water.
With their long hair and rubbery skinsuits.
They floated on their boards, swaying from side to side
as the waves raged around them.
They were waiting for the right moment.
“Surf’s up!” one of them would call out.
Suddenly, they would all begin paddling hurriedly.
Some would be too early, some too late.
The lucky ones would catch the wave and ride its crest from beginning to end.
At the end they would all fall off their boards and plunge into the water.
While it lasted, it was an incomparable high.
They lived in another dimension.
It is on windy days like this, when the surf’s up, can you find the surfers riding Mojacar’s waves.
I met her by a gleaming river
As the sun set over the City of Love
Our hearts always wondered what life would deliver
As we both earnestly pursued true love
Little did I know that she would be my bride
As long as she is by my side
Confidence will always be in my stride
Her presence always brings me joy and pride
Ours is a love that is more than love
More than a fairy tale or story book romance
I love her and all I feel from her is love
I knew that she was the one from her very first glance
My bride is from a dream
Her eyes are brighter than stars
Her face is more radiant than the sun
She is my darling, my life, my everything
