8009 - Voyages to Salamis

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

The voyages to Salamis
showed us how close
the sun and sea are
because among the curves
we saw the difficulties
which we overcame together
with a smile on our lips
to meet the children
those who did not expect
anything from life
yet, when they faced
your kindness and joy
they did not stand the attacks
and with their kind eagerness
they returned to humaneness
and not only to society
which had left them forgotten.
