Looking from here
A smiling wildflower
Two seas that embrace the gaze
Radiance, born of love, flows forth
Its waves wash upon golden sands
Holding a touch of children’s joy
And, above all
It offers a warm smile
The very thing the world we live in longs for
Looking from here
Like the night with tresses falling across its face
A full moon at its center
It pours into us, much like a waterfall
In short, a secure pier
The harbor on my route when the storms arise
April 2019, İzmir
