A love song to Australia is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Paul Abdul Ahad

DROMANA

-1-

Dromana

Abundant gardens

Arthur is sitting to observe attentively

Its houses are candles in a big village

Which the sea scribbled, beautified

And hung a heavy relic on its chest

Dromana couldn't carry

It divided it

And shared with the neighbourhood

The waves, which left their atelier

And hid a little wave

The atelier has forgotten to complete

Dromana

The on going magic

Which Victoria stood to meet

It spun a green fabric

In its spinning wheel

To warm him

He saw it blurred

He tumbled by it

And it fell in him

It became a flower

And he became a butterfly

Their secret I'll never reveal
