CONCETTA LA PLACA

 



Memories

 

Nostalgic memories

they flutter in my heart like leaves in the wind.

Memories in black and white, spanning my remaining SEASONS of life.

Now they live there, in the world of DREAMS that no longer exist and never will.

 

Our LAUGHTER of genuine existence remains alive in my thoughts.

They are my new sunrises and my new sunsets,

my true strength.

 

They are what remains in me, to live this existence of mine to the fullest.

Life Tendens Its Hand To Us

 

Life passes, beyond time,

in the succession of seasons,

and creeps among the streams

of the rain;

in the water of the rivers,

along which the wind watches,

alternating with the sun;

in the white snow of the peaks;

in the dew of the early hours

of the morning;

in the August sun.

He never gets tired

to give us a longing for love,

that feeling that

in the hearts of many people,

tends to evaporate

like the winter mist.

And, when nature

appears seriously injured,

with its infinite power,

he never stops giving us

still life...

The red poppy

starts to blossom again

between the cold cracks

of cement.

The colorful rainbow

comes back to peep out

from the smog of the gray sky.

The sad and lonely almond tree,

forgotten to himself,

he resumes timidly

to flourish among ghostly

suburban buildings,

rise to the sky,

like new cathedrals,

to reach that God,

for centuries, renegade.

Continue the man

to worry

among its moments of violence,

to drown his self

in moments of the unspeakable

inner solitude,

in continuous flow

of a grim cynicism

and in indifference

of an astonished world.

Yet, life is,

and it will always be

an unstoppable one

current of love.

We need to leave

drag from this

positive and wonderful

flow.

This is how we must

knowing how to take that hand

that existence

always tends to us.

The Value Of Your Time

 

Time is pressing and youth,

with dreams and hopes,

it is now a swept cloud

away from the wind.

Every moment is precious

and it never goes to waste,

this is what the hungry man does with a piece of bread

and with a few drops of water the thirsty.

Only disenchantment remains

than having wasted a lot of time,

with those who have never known how to love,

it is a very serious fault.
