Heybeliada

Sitting in the forest, looking at the setting sun,
With no humans around, not even one,
I see the sky and sea merge into each other,
So far from each other, but still together.

In this cacophony of seagulls and dogs barking,
and the surroundings darkening,
I wish I could be here forever
and this moment, oh mother nature!
Pauses, and never comes to an end.
Oh, if only this time cycle I could mend!

Everyone here seems to be at peace with each other,
A proof that we are all from the same mother.
If only it could be like this in the world outside,
And everything on the exterior is just like inside,
I wouldn't have to come so far away,
searching for a place where I could stay.
