With this life
Take off the spectacles
Contemplate on
A clearer view
Above the pines
Up the mountain’s face
To the sky above, and
Reflect on this blue
Contrast this hue
With the new of the sea
Compare the depth
Of the deep sleep
With the lightness
Of the clear near sky
Meditate on the love of love
The love of this hour
The love of this life
The taste of oiled sardines
The taste of sweet tomatoes
