Τρία ποιήματα του John Adnan Karajoli (ΜΑΤΙΑ ΣΤΟ ΑΙΓΑΙΟ, ΤΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΤΗΣ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑΣ & Τήνος)

 

ΜΑΤΙΑ ΣΤΟ ΑΙΓΑΙΟ

Ο ουρανός σκεπάζει την Ελλάδα

με ένα μαγικό πέπλο, γλύφοντας από

άκρη σε άκρη τα σκόρπια βράχια που

τόλμησαν να πλησιάσουν στις ακτές,

φλερτάροντας τα μοναχικά νησιά στο πέρασμα τους

Η θάλασσα πλησιάζει τα νησιά με

άσπρο γαλάζιο πέπλο ζωγραφίζοντας

γη και ουρανό όλη την Ελλάδα από

θαλασσινό μελάνι σε λευκό γαλάζιο χαρτί.

Ο Θεός δημιούργησε τη θάλασσα

για να αγκαλιάζει τα νησιά και

τοποθέτησε τα νησιά για να πλάσει

την Ελλάδα.

🌼

Τήνος

Το όμορφο νησί

Επισκέφτηκε η Παναγία

Γαλήνεψε στο ναό της

Είναι η μητέρα του Ιησού Χριστού

Είναι η Θεά

Παρέμεινε εκεί και άφησε την στεριά

Έτσι απόκτησε το υπέροχο νησί

Προστάτιδα για πάντα την αγαπημένη Παναγιά.

🌼

ΤΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΤΗΣ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑΣ

Αφήνω την στεριά και φεύγω

με την ευχή του Χριστού και την Παναγιά

κλαίω μάνα, σε αφήνω μοναχή στη στεριά

ρίξε τελευταία ματιά.

Με κλέψανε ο άνεμος και τα αλμυρά νερά

υπόσχομαι μάνα μόλις τελειώσει το ταξίδι μου

θα επιστρέψω κοντά σου ξανά

κουβαλώντας μαζί μου όλα τα βάσανα

και τις αναμνήσεις από τους πελάγους

όπου πέρασα στην υγρή ατελείωτη ξενιτιά.
