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.
