Spring impressions at the Gulf of Poets
(The magic of lost time)

“Nostalgia … the longing for yet another strange land,
grew especially strong in spring.”

Vladimir Nabokov, Mary

                                                                 Gulf of Poets-La Spezia, April 2024

I entered a shady path.
On the edge primroses and violets
whispered memories
of times gone by.
The lights and shadows chased each other
– almost a kids’ game.

In the distance
a glimpse of the blue Mediterranean Sea
reflected restless clouds
while on the surface silver fishes
seemed to draw
circles expanding
in gentle breaths …

And suddenly
the magic of lost time
was here again.
