16728 - The smile of the Archbishop

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

The smile of the Archbishop
of Australia
didn’t came immediately,
as he was waiting for a sign
but when he saw
the maps of the EEZ
he was unable to withhold
and after listening
carefully about the reason
he decided
to leave aside unhappiness
because for the first time
he was seeing the future
and extented
his gaze
wider and wider
in order to accommodate
the endless blue.
