The Myrtle


A sea was in my mind,
and a heavenly garden,
while I was setting sail,
for the upper neighborhood,
 
At the wide open windows,
I saw a Myrtle smiling,
got tired while walking,
I stop and ask her,
 
O Myrtle please tell me,
where can I find earth and water,
to built again a nest 
for the lovebirds?
 
At the wide open windows,
I saw Myrtle shed a tear,
while I was setting sail,
for the upper neighborhood.
