The Dance Of Life

 

I fall and get up, I dance again

I step quietly, on my toes

Not to hurt you.

I caress the air,

I gracefully steal your sighs

I wear them in the infinity of restlessness!

 I spin in the air, in a circle,

Every moment to catch

 I hunt your every hope.

I jump and fall

I rise like a phoenix!

 The flame in the embers –

With a new view, a new horizon

To stellar heights.

I dance lightly

I swing like a feather.

Don't stop me, don't

I still play

That's the dance of life!

I play tirelessly

with  sky blue

I wash the world.

Don't change the tune

I create the fantasy

She will guide me

Through troubled waters

Until the end of the dance, until the end of the century!

 

A Message

 

An old yellowed book

On a dusty shelf placed above

Silent and crying, forgotten by everyone

Nailed me with a half-step look.

 

Silently invited me to lift it in my hands

Whispered to me with excitement, secretly sincere,

Hug me and love me and I will guide you

With each new leaf to the primeval.

 

On an old armchair, next to a flowery window

I held her to my chest like a great gift,

I turn pages, handwriting known,

 seal of allegiance, from an old friend.

 

I'm falling in love with the gentle words

From a long time ago, told in a story

For life, for love, for home

For my youth and holy faith.

 

Time passed; the gaze landed

On a page torn from an old book,

 Valuable message, in colored pencil:

"I am proud of you, my daughter"!

 

A Night

 

Slowly, quietly, you spread,

You glide gently, like silk across the landscape.

The leaves are rustling

Late blooming roses smell.

A white cloud hides the moon,

My gaze seeks a guiding star

And there high the Pole star is lighting

Singing a hymn for the newborn night.

And this night brings sighs

Someone regrets a missed opportunity,

Someone regrets the missed day

And someone is thankful permanently.

Although you are dark, you are a new hope

 Only in the dark do stars fall,

Although you are dark, you bring excitement

A new day rise is waiting for us tomorrow.

Night! You are not darkness, you are not black!

You are bright, shiny, rediant

You are inspiration, rest, relaxation,

You are a desire released into space.

And this night is blessed, an angel is born,

 a baby's cry is heard!

Every night is divine

Revealing   a world hidden in you!
