drumming on leaves
cloud's tears kiss sacred green
little hands

rugged arms
elderly tree
span my shade with yours

like once used to be

through a crack in the veil

the moon's benevolent face
shows her light
peaceful smile

metaphor
speaks my life


time is for me to leave
I won' t fall into sleep
I left here something that

I came now to retrieve

all around a crazy ballet

of flawless silhouettes
sharing the uncovered stage
atop this windy hill

shadows and grass dance and whirl
I attend alone to this show
that prompts my mind back to then


my legs are asking
for rest they deserve

faithful they carried
my weight till the end
my trembling hand drawn

by consumed blue veins
to them I owe the strength
to climb back my descent


vest of flesh I called me
time to rest underneath

but inside the child lives
once again laughs and speaks


time is for me to leave
I won't fall into numb sleep
I left here something

that I want to retrieve
safe from ravenous years
one frame of distant beauty

pure fragrance
this dream's last scene


tell me of
timeless days
spent to enjoy

a divine gift
