Dark dark blue turns into green and white as the head emerges from the surface of the sea.The eyes are now widely open staring at the lavish greenery all around.The afternoon sun is hitting them mercilessly so they quickly seek for shade.
The sand is now covering the body absorbing every slightest drop of water that was on it.So thirsty suddenly, so thirsty that breath is coming out slowly.And then the song fills the air, making the head forget every dizziness and the eyes trying to understand the meaning.
It is talking about a holiday and a summer place where the stars are so bright as the hearts of the people there.A place that all anxiety and frustration go away with the wind, where life seems more simple than it should be.
And the sweet melody fills the air, passes over the shining sea, rests on the thick leaves of the trees, kisses the white sand, plays with the colourful swimming suits until it gets tired and rests on the salted skin.
That is all that the mind recalls from that unforgettable island.An island big enough to cover in a few days when the mind is dancing with rock tunes of the singing birds in the courtyard.Funny animals!!They seem to enjoy every single moment of their lives, as they fly here and there all the time.But they sometimes get tired and need the warmth of their nest, the safety of not being alone.
The eyes really loved the island. They are now full of natural and harmless images.So did the mind, that relaxed and felt home. The body was the only loser- should it be chracterised that way. However so was the soul when the holidays were over,when the bitter taste of loneliness rulled again.
Kefalonia is more than ordinary, is a powerful love. But you need to appreciate the ordinary in order to understand the beautiful.
