London, My beloved London...

On my first day as a British citizen,
it seems most appropriate to publish
a celebratory poem.

To this city, this country that
I love so much.

GROUND ZERO + 36

London,
My beloved London.
You greet me
With a bundle of sunshine.

London,
My beloved London.
You put your magic on display.
Now Big Ben and then Trafalgar.

London,
My beloved London.
Framing happily my heart,
Putting words into this stanza.

The morning sun hits me on my back...

GROUND ZERO + 9

The morning sun
Hits me on my back.

Pushing me
Towards my shadow.

The morning sun
Guides me.

East to west.

Helping me retrace my steps.
In one golden embrace of fire.
