Upon Slovenia’s Shore”
“Upon Slovenia’s Shore”
Stars rained upon
the Adriatic Sea
and twinkle-danced
for all of night to see
Beyond the sky
as far as I could tell
they took away
more quickly than they fell
At glow of dawn
a glorious shooting star
shed brilliant light
upon Slovenia’s shore
That lit the day
far brighter than I’d seen
inspiring hope
for humankind to glean
Then on the blush
of early twilight’s cheek
a peacefulness
that every being seeks
Infused the world
for all of us to share
and spread a joy
that lingers in the air
About this poem
When I was on the Adriatic Sea, I was moved by the natural beauty that surrounded me. It made me feel hopeful, peaceful and joyful that one day our world may be so blessed. I hope I imparted these feelings to those who read this poem.
