When blue meets blue and green appears to intercede, And a waft of breeze dusts one's cheeks with mild Chastisement -- a wind that offers a hint of more to come. What do we realize in the appearance of the endless sea? We realize we have reached the limit of land. The idea of infinity is objectified in one color -- Or is it two? This we only discover by trying To understand what our human nature must be. A truce with ourselves betrays the need To learn and discover our self in our actions. Trying to become the end we only imagined In the breeze -- we create hope for our future.

The Cape of Good Hope
When blue meets blue and green appears to intercede, And a waft of breeze dusts one's cheeks with mild Chastisement -- a wind that offers a hint of more to come. What do we realize in the appearance of the endless sea? We realize we have reached the limit of land. The idea of infinity is objectified in one color -- Or is it two? This we only discover by trying To understand what our human nature must be. A truce with ourselves betrays the need To learn and discover our self in our actions. Trying to become the end we only imagined In the breeze -- we create hope for our future.
