May 2013
The awake hummingbird flits,
At speeds beyond imagination over dark daisies and roses,
Little Pearls unerringly grow in deep ocean sands,
Concealed behind deceiving waters from the times of Moses.

A wobbling chair shifts on the glistening porch,
By the sands that move with the soul of the azure sea,
Where Calypso sits nestling the locket of the man she will lose tonight,
All of creation moves with her sobs in perfect harmony.

In the vistas of far reaching coconut trees,
The wind rushes to and fro,
Concocting a strange chilling melody,
A song that the seagulls forgot; that now only the ancient spirits know.

These notes that precede and proclaim the farewell that is to come,
Once again trapped within the confines of her paradise,
Calypso will cry once more when the man she had loved would have to go,
Deep within her aching heart without any comfort, her tears would have to suffice.
Calypso in Greek mythology was the daughter of the evil titan Atlas. After the war between the Titans and the gods, Calypso was detained to island of Ogygia to live in isolation for eternity. Even though she wasn't evil she was punished for her father's sins.

In the recent fiction novel series "Percy Jackson", Percy, a demi-god (son of Poseidon and a human) is trapped on the island. Where Calypso falls in love with him but he has to leave as early as possible. So Calypso for the second time in her long life is forced to let go of the hope that she would at last have a companion.
