Statement

Melbourne
Even with your eyes closed
still could see the clouds moving
Relaxed by the rhythmic sound of the sea…
Take a deep breath
The warmth of the scented breeze
brings memories
and sounds
from sea shells and conchs
that come and go…
some stay over the sand that warms your feet…
some stay on the tracks, left by sea creatures
some stay on the marks left by the sea itself
some stay on your footprints…

...the footprints of your feet…

Your feet. They discern shapes,
textures,…temperatures…
your feet tell their own story…

…But your closed eyes
still perceive the clouds, the breeze and the sea-gulls above,
which briefly cover the sun
leaving footprints in the sky…

…deeply breathe again
incommensurable instant

…open your eyes
and you wake up
from your dream…
or your remembrance…
