Sensations

Wake up from sleep my soul!
don’t you feel the “Zephyr”
blow light on our skin!
and our lips open to the sea breeze.
The dead rise from “Hades”,
powerless to “Hypnos”,
blessed by “Zeus”, now alive.
I want to kiss the hands of Life
and kneel at her feet,
then to thank “Tyche”,
as a humble handmaid,
with nectar and ambrosia.
Wake up from sleep beautiful soul!
in the arms of “Thanatos”
you looked for oblivion,
drops of dew rained by “Iris”
awaken you from your sleep:
Look! the “Morning Star”.
Do you hear the Australis!
The wind has changed.
