Spain

View from Valdemosa

Last May I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to spend some time in Mallorca, Spain.  It was a year since my feet felt my climbing shoes, so any real deep water soloing mission was out of the question.  I could not bare to look at Es Pontas, Sharma's artistic masterpiece, without at least throwing some shoes on and pretending to climb a tiny piece of it, so I opted to not even take a glance.  Instead, I spent several days wandering through tiny villages paved with cobblestones, visiting a few nude beaches, and taking in a wedding set atop a thousand foot cliff overlooking the Mediterranean; complete with sheep and ringing bells in the background of course.

Reflections

The summertime rain fills it all in
The fire and the smoke confusing me again
and it's you
The echo and the breeze floating through the trees
The river and the wind washing through the leaves
and it's you
The cloud and the cave create a secret puzzle
The hollow and the stone
The silence of a bubble
and it's you
The wonder and the dream seeping through the cracks
The laughter and the smiles dripping down my back
and it's you
The ice and the dragon fighting in the dark
The silhouette of birds painted by the sun
and it's you
The street vendors knives, his brilliant display
The shoe polish drips, the tattered rags rip
The nickel falls into solemn hands
and it's you
The engine moves with careful poise
The captain speaks in mumbled noise
The waves crash with grace
and it's you
