Alkyona's return (Birds never lose their "way")

Alcyone' s return
(Birds never lose their "way")


Fugitives shadows, pass from the tip of the eye.
Fluttering of wings are heard.
They danced near you.

A sky full of birds, to travel you.
To share the air and the sun.
Put on your wings.

If we could fly high in the light,
away from the heavy sky.
Like a swarm of birds swirling
and disappearing in the vast sky.
We would see a new world spread out
under our "wings".

The opening of their wings,
It looks like an opening in people's hands.
Dreams are elusive.
They fly faster than the clouds in the sky.
Lower,
for a moment.

​​​​​​​Traveling birds.
Free.
There is no answer to the mystery of immigration.
Emigration brings a new beginning.
Alcyone will come again,
has a mission to accomplish.

Birds never lose their "way"!

Unquenchable human footprints are deep ,
engraved on fresh soil.
Birds walk on the ground,
supposedly freely.
The earth for the people
for the birds, the sky!


Anyone who loves a bird,
a star,
a child,
he always has beautiful dreams and the world becomes beautiful beyond his sleep,
as behind his closed eyes,
as in the most unknown smile of …… Giannis Ritsos
