Ancient Lady, Santorini

A proud daughter of Violent Heat.

Yes, years ago, you slowly beat

Through boiling sea to sun and air.

 

You won the fight, for building land,

You took a stand to live in light.

Serenity, now slowly speaks,

You’re life is full. Oh, you are Greek.

 

As oceans touch your body firm

They wash your shores and polish stones.

 

Then sinking light makes oceans glow.

Commotions melt and peace will flow.

On sacred lands white houses stand.

For roofs. Who knew? Celestial-blue.

 

The people move through narrow streets

Ride donkeys too like kings anew.

Santorini, again I’ll come

With wife in hand. Our love renew.

 

Restaurants we’ll find. Sunsets we’ll see.

In hotels white we’ll stay at night.

I’ll hold my wife. We’ll share the joy.

Santorini, hold Loni tight.

Yes, I’ll hold Loni tight.
