7439 - Thalatta! Thalatta!

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Upon the motionless prairies
the people were searching for the light
after all the battles
and they were waiting for the spectacle
of the old world
so that the past wouldn’t die
their entire life just one voice
and everyone saw
the next moment
then came the colour
the endless blue
and everyone cried out:
Thalatta! Thalatta!
