Reflections of Bodensee

There is a place where water kisses the earth

Cushioning with faith white streams upon its sheets

It’s where space hails from no form

While time stands in awe, holding on to the universe.

It’s a body whose limbs embrace three ancient symbols

Engendering from ice, on silken beds of giant alps

Unbinding borders of complexity unified

Through flamboyant communication means.

Antiquity named it by its deeds

Stemming from castra, chivalry and masculinity

Audacious bod, brandishing fierce coats-of-arms

While bashfully subdued to nature’s attributes.

From its core in an island in bloom

To its surface mirroring stilt houses and flying balloons,

Sweet apples and wine remind sojourners of its taste

While it feels like sun on its canvas of Mediterranean hues.

And when it represents traditions and cutting edge feelings

In three hugs, a hand-shake or a friendly servus

It’s a culturally attired melting pot of Europe

To explore so that one can learn, to adopt so that one can love.

And so its shores beholding hopes and dreams

At the threshold where reality sets sail to explore fantasies

Are the immutable purveyor of waves humanly entwined

Carrying, upon their crystalline beliefs, the sequel of life.

Author’s note: Bod = antique German word meaning “messenger”
