A DISPUTE

I have no dresses for me

never go out to breathe fresh air

nor  I meet people

complains one-day Consciousness

me too want to take  walks and

see the sun

I'm tired of being silent

of being kept locked  here inside

Quickly Man replied

everyone knows

you are not used

to wear clothes

those are just for me

It’ s up to me

to face the seasons

stay there, do not claim

what is not for you

most of the times

it's windy or rainy

and even in spring

weather can be bad

if you came out

you’d easily find  yourself

in the midst of  storms

@ Maria Miraglia

INADEQUATE

You thought

you had learned to accept it

the pain

also because you can't refuse it

that comes suddenly

when you least expect it

to devastate you inside

break all those mental structures

that  you have built over the time

to defend yourself

You can't see but  feel it

like blades

tearing those threads

that like a spider's web

you have woven

and with difficulty

over time

You say I know life by now

you feel prepared

to go through new storms

that are there

ready to surprise you again

to make you feel inadequate

to think you have to start over

all over again

to understand

comprehend

to accept

@ Maria Miraglia

COME TO ME

If you feel unhappy

and full is your heart

of pain

come to me, my dear

I'll tell you to surrender

your whole Self to nature

that never betrays

give your welcome

to the winds the sun and

the clouds that come and go

as anything down here

Forgive and forget

so many the frailties

in men's heart

let it be

and all the burden

of your humane worries

will vanish in one moment

like when waking up

from a nightmare
