Paros Poem by Julia Robinson

Paros

Rating: 5.0


Sunsets of fire
bathed in azure.
An island rests
on white marble
from whence
famous statues arose
to sail across the seas -
Life formed
from nothing
as a spinner creates
destiny from the chaos
of sheared fibres.
We sit absorbed
as the wind whispers
'Here you can find yourself! '
rustling the colours
up through the petals.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For the last couple of years I have been living on the island of Paros - one of the Cyclades islands in Greece. In 6 days I will be leaving, and who knows if the winds will blow me back here? So this poem, that I wrote last year, is to celebrate my time here and to say a big 'Thank You! ' to Paros and its wonderful feminine energy and to the people here who are so generous and life-loving. It was here that I began to feel myself as an artist, as a writer. Thank you for coaxing me into believing!
