“Blue Fires”

 

Tempera on paper handmade in Greece.

Poem and painting, trying to put the memories of a walk on the trails in colors and letters on paper.
Open to the Atlantic sea, next to the breakers and in front of the Tower of Hercules ( a Roman lighthouse on the “Costa da Morte” in Coruña) a windy, strong and very special place (especially in winter) is hidden,

“Blue Fires

Nothing to turn off all these blue fires.

Nothing to dry us, way to the lighthouse.

Banks on trails, trails on cliffs and cliffs hit by the waves.

Green, white and powerful but insufficient.

Nothing to heal us.

We will believe we are cured, but we will only be old and tired.

Nobody to save us from ourselves.

Here, strolling together, next to the big noise.

Nothing to turn off all these blue fires.”
