One of your best poems. Definitely!

You reminded me of a beautiful Greek song; Yuri's balad

Sky, no I will never say yes

Sky, my distant friend;

how can I accept the affection of other bosoms?

How can I accept? My mother is earth.

How can I deny the auriate light of life?

Ah sky, distant pain!

Each eventide I’m looking at the sky, the blue sky

and I’m hearing a voice, a festive bell, urging me

Each Sunday it’s telling me to go there, there, there

where weird birds are building their nests, towards towards the sun’s steps

Sky, no I will never say yes

Sky, my distant friend;

how can I accept the affection of other bosoms?

How can I accept? My mother is earth.

How can I deny the auriate light of life?

Ah sky, distant pain!

Each eventide I’m looking at the sky, the blue sky

and a crazy voice, both like a caress and a threat, is calling me towards it

Each Sunday it’s telling me to go there, there, there

promising me, oceans, bright comets and whatever the mind can conceive

Sky, no I will never say yes

Sky, my distant friend;

how can I accept the affection of other bosoms?

How can I accept? My mother is earth.

How can I deny the auriate light of life?

Ah sky, distant pain!
