Mediterranean Meditations-2 Poem by Gunturk Ustun

1

Stardust
Starlit
Starless
Stargazer
Starstruck
Starlet
Stardom
Starling
Starfish
All of those
Are striking stars
In the Mediterranean
Way of existence

2

Every individual
From the Aegean shores
Can also be considered
A Mediterranean
By virtue of their
Poetic joy of living
Recognized and cherished alike
By jetliners in the sky
And cruise liners in the sea

3

Almost as ancient as
Maritime history itself
Mediterranean wisdom
Has chosen to be
Utterly understanding
And so it remains
