Liquid image

Gas in a common combustion heater and use

You are a lonely and self-deprecating man

 The challenges of the environment bother you unimaginably,

even in complete isolation

You abstain from the common verbal traps

"I am the best, the others are inferior"

and from racial theories that testify untested verbalism

and freeze the intravenous blood flow,

-as a humble and self-taught believer of the Blessed Virgin life

and the experiences of the deceased past -

You exemplify injustice with justice

and start the pilgrimage walk to the Acropolis

The orbit of the earth has just begun ...

 

 

The Pure Souls ...

 

Pure souls have an innocent look

Decorate your garden with basil for blessing

Fireflies are made to illuminate your dark paths

 Caress your aura to feel confident

Approach you with emotional mood and intuitive judgment

Illuminate with stars the sky of your sorrow

Weave your loneliness with kisses

Water your misery with excess of compassion

With a smile greet your dreams

Touch your heart with affection

Respect your wishes and embrace your joy

Admiration feeds their lives

Charity inspires their existence

Spark angelic beauty

and the natural grandeur

A humanitarian, awakening and hopeful dream...

 

Axis mundi *

 

Herculean task is the struggle of self-knowledge in the noisy cities

 The hell of Dante with eloquent lyrics,

sung and artistically imprinted thousands of times

 Virgil and Beatrice mark our footprints

in the terrestrial and underground passages

 through continuous concentric circles of self-purification ...

In the final analysis

is the least that often saves us from the disaster

We see ourselves in a Platonic reflection

Declining shareholders

Without colors and smells

Clavichords for advantageous sale ...
