“My Liquid World” (amid winds of war), poem by Lidia Chiarelli, Italy
My liquid world
(amid winds of war)
to Dylan Thomas
This ashen day in March
opens with dancing shadows –
images carved in the air
of the spring still too far.
An insidious mist enshrouds me
in crescendo.
Among echoes in subtle vibration
teach me, Dylan, to seek shelter in
my liquid world
take me to feel the pulse
of the tides that ceaselessly
ebb and flow
and while time and space dissolve
in the primordial roar of the Ocean
lead me to fly away, with you, from
the void … of this bewilderment and of that insanity*
* from: Although through my bewildered way
Lidia Chiarelli, Italy

“Water Prayer” – to Dylan Thomas, Son of the Sea, poem by Lidia Chiarelli, Italy
Water Prayer
to Dylan, Son of the Sea
Seagulls and restless rooks
challenge the wind
on this winter morning.
Under a pearl sky
the waves sing the rising sun –
the first glimpse of light on the horizon
fades too soon.
Here and now
Dylan’s words resound:
The waters of the heart
push in their tides…*
And from the ancient cliff
I pause and listen to
the voice of the sea:
a water prayer
that softly evaporates
among the fleeing clouds.
*from: Light breaks where no sun shines
Lidia Chiarelli, Italy
