As the ultramarine blanket
wraps itself around me
I feel the world going quiet,
the storm inside my head
pausing for an instant.
A wave of calmness comes over me
as I stare into the navy blue sky.
The grass tingling beneath my weight,
the midnight breeze giving me shivers
Every year it is the same,
the olive trees
announcing life and a beginning
gifting me again with new days
