The Solitude Of The Soul
The celestial
vault tonight
is studded with
bright stars
that silent
shine up there
they seem to
chat amiably and
exchange smiles
making you feel
of being
in front of an
unveiled part of heaven
But the beams of
light
that come from
afar away
tell another
story
lonely in the
boundless void
far from each
other
unattainable
they are
in their
desolation
Like the stars
men on earth
islands are of
archipelagos
without bridges
and
without boats
whenever they
are
you can perceive
the deep
loneliness of their souls
@ Maria Miraglia
Appearances
Perched on a
cherry branch
not far away
a sparrow
his wings open
the flight
resumes
elegant in his
movements
as a dancer
of the opera
theaters
free to flutter
he has no limit
of time
master of the
air
ruler of the
space
I think
After a while he
is there
on the sill of
my window
next to a vase
of violets
seems to seek
protection
in the shade of
their leaves
small tender
fragile
Quite a
different thing he appeared
from a distance.
@ Maria Miraglia
Aliens
Emptied of
thoughts
Joys and desires
The mind a
tabula rasa
Like a newborn
baby
A soul just
pushed
On earth
Everything seems
unknown
Men like aliens
Come from who
knows where
Only the sky and
earth
Are familiar to
me
And the birds
singing
Inviting me to a
smile
That my lips
fail to draw
Everywhere is
din
The roar of the
engines
The noise in the
streets
Words that I
can't distinguish
Faces I don't t
recognize
But what a
strange sensation
I can read
feelings
As in an open
book
And of men hear
The whispers of
their souls
Saddened by what
I see
And also, by
what I hear
So arid people
hearts
And corrupted
their mind
i think I’d wake
up
As from a
nightmare
But my eyes are
open and
The sun shining
up
In the sky
