My Eucalyptus Trees
by Pili Pubul

Remaining forever in my memory, 
I absorb the intense smell 
Of my beloved Eucalyptus trees 
In the storehouse of my mind 
Filling my being, 
Enveloping myself 
In my giant friends 
Of my childhood. 
When lying under 
Their protective shadow, 
Sharing their wisdom 
In our delightful solitude. 
Breathing deeply 
Fresh aroma 
Impregnating the air. 
Murmurs in my ears, 
Ancient secrets 
Of their many yesteryears 
I had tasted 
The sweet bitterness 
Of olive green 
Elongated leaves, 
Caressing my lips. 
I had buried my face 
In the wrinkles of your trunk. 
Oh, eternal parents 
Of my soul, 
I've never forgotten you, 
My love is deep. 
Distance is only a measure. 
I know you are still there... 
Kissing the sky, 
Remembering me.
