Poetry of St. Irene lido

St. Irene, is my muse
and cradle the holidays
in a divine rest.

In its beaches, secret,
encloses the empyrean
with a sunny beach
water and sky.

Such is the providence,
that welcomes every trip,
every right, every essay.

Today hides under the water
the treasures of the sea:
The rescued life
in another hemisphere.

Umberto F. M. Cefalà
