| Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, 1987 |

The opal green ocean rolled to the shore Exploding into a cream soda of surf Before dissolving into the tears Of a mermaid's long lost romance The sunbow's last embers Beamed forth from the painted horizon Pink tinting the luminescent sea With a sheen of perfect serenity While the ageless stars Began their timeless spectacle On the deep blue threshold of twilight, The world awaited to dream In her orbits of harmony And for a wishful moment I believed I had never heard of war And knew only All things in tranquility. |
