Justice
acting according
to goodness and truth
nobility of
values
sometimes
justice
is a bit like
going to the grocery store
the scale
does not always
do its duty
the human being
is human
close your eyes
close your eyes
close your eyes
hoping that a
weight is a feather
that a pair of
shoes
finds the ground
to continue
walking
and above all to
believe
All In One
I found myself
walking in the woods
I saw a
blackbird perched on a branch
it didn’t take
long
he spread his
wings and flew away
I stepped on the
grass of a meadow
it was so soft
a girl was
walking a dog who then came towards me
my hand caressed
her head
an old man sat
on the bench
he was reading
the newspaper
his gaze fixed
on the news pages
his glasses were
as red as poppy petals
a child was
playing with a toy car
he was moving it
on a tufa block making the sound of the engine
I walked towards
the wooden bridge
my arms folded
to admire the swift step of a moorhen in the brook
by now he knew
me
no longer
fleeing to hide
on my way back
home a steep asphalt climb
two cats, or
rather three, one black and two reddish
they chased my
every movement with their eyes
turning their
eyes to the sky
a kestrel
hovering in the air
something
wonderful
I returned home
lying on the
sofa
I had been a
blackbird
then grass
a dog
an old man
a child
a bridge
a moorhen
an asphalt
two cats, or
rather three
the sky
even a kestrel
I closed my eyes
I found myself
in a dream called life
ERMANNO SPERA
ERMANNO SPERA, was born in Rome
(Italy) on 11 March 1967, where he lives. He is a writer, poet and painter. He
has participated in various poetry competitions and his poems have been
included in national and international literary anthologies. Philosophical
concepts, metaphorical expressions and a great lyrical ability are highlighted
in his poems. He knows how to juxtapose with skilful stylistic ability images
and landscapes of the soul and strong conceptual intuitions. Ermanno Spera’s
poems are a treasure trove of ideas, inventions, hidden adventures where the
poetic and artistic spirit of the author is compressed and expressed. In his
works, the concept of troubled humanity almost always manifests itself even if
the poet tends to hide and mask reality, making it become joyful and peaceful
as his soul thirsting for peace and justice desires. Sometimes his poetry
becomes hermetic and enigmatic. Many metaphors, visions and how much thought
his mind releases which does not rack his brain over memory, but always tries
to pave the way for new paths of the spirit.
