Dear Sitges –
Mi querida.
Had I known,
When my breath was passed
Through a paper mask
Gazing through the window
As darkness receded
The lights in my heart
Of my loving city.
Where every morning, noon, night
The sea greeted me
With calm calamity
Roaring waves
Crashing up walls
She always answered
When I called.
Long walks down winding streets,
Laughter as we ran free
Full of joy and howling shrieks
Into the waiting arms
Of warm waves,
Youth rejoiced in summer’s haze.
Aching body washed away
When moonshine rose
Across the mountain range.
All the chance encounters,
All the wonderful synchronicity,
Every ounce of magic
Tucked inside these stones,
The home I found
That was more
Then I could have possibly known.
My heart aches
When memories blaze
Across my camera roll
The dramatic sunset
Stretching across the horizon
The smell of fresh salt
Sea breeze washing away
Any pain or doubt.
My soul found a home
And if I had known
I would have wept for days
As we fled
Watching it all fall away.
Too Far From the Sun
