She, 

                                                                         The reddish moon
at the sun set; 
                      

                            Far, behind the horizon, 
                                                                                    Warm.

                                                                       With Heavy sleeping
eyes and
                                                     The awakenings glance.

She, 


                                      The soft timid poem
The drunken beauty
                                                                Of the fog
                  
         
                                                The caring sparking fire
 
                                                                    Calming down the
notorious beast
 
                 She, 
                        The thunder
                             The miracle rain
                                 The green land merging
                                           From ice fissures 

                                                                                     She, 
                                                                           
                                                           The profound seas

                                                                       The soft water ocean
The promising desert


                                                          She, 

                                                                     The language

                                                                                 The
zillions future names
                     The universe thousand secretes



She, 

                                                            The woman

                                                I adore, 
                                                I worship, 

                      And I protect, 


                                                  She is my temple and my shelter.
