Can You Restore Hope To My Soul?

 

It is a gift of hope for you.

Your soul, thirsty for spirituality,

finds solace in the ardor of a renewed, never-extinguished feeling,

hidden within the light folds of my soul.

It is a great privilege to relieve your soul from the heavy burden of responsibility in giving courage and support to all,

and I, only to you, support your right arm, raised together to the sky now.

 

You, my hope, returning to you with the sweetness of strength,

already imprinted in your heart.

The embrace of the sweet and melodious flow of the waters of a river

born from the rivulets of a snow-capped mountain

that has lost the memory of its frost.

 

It flows to lose itself in the sea of tranquility where kindred souls meet to sow petals of hope in the oases of a desert imprinted on the skin even before the existence of the gift of hope.

 

Two Lights

 

I see them climbing the face of the pillow,

fresh and colorful; two lights like miniatures of a walking moon in the desert of a world without a sea.

They attract the two eye magnets,

fiery lips speak the incomprehensible language of green aliens.

A coded speech draws from atavistic memory; your eyes reveal the secrets of love hidden between the stammering tongue and the wisdom that only you transmit from the palms of your hands; enclosed is the magic ring tightened by the invisible thread of perfect union.

It knows no abandonment;

it eats at sunrise the fidelity that rises in the humble prayer of a candle always lit in the candelabra of life.

Two lights follow my gaze, drawing the answers I have not told you, but you alone keep for us in a bottomless amphora;

it has lost the water and gained sanctity.
