...
You were fond of the beauteous, of the high quality
You were whelmed by waves of mien,
of dignity, of consistence, of offering
Everything always guided you to good
... you live in my mind each moment
A blond girl with blue eyes, all lighted up and beautiful

ReplyDeletemy old mum is not exactly hurrying to paradise but she is kind of looking forward to the next great adventure, as she terms it.
I enjoy modern Greek poems. I have a very good Rissos on my shelf.
Imagine that. Living in somebody's mind each moment. Truly touching.
