LA PAUSA

Vorrei fermare il tempo
mettere una pausa nella mia vita
per darmi spazio per pensare.
...Troppo veloci rotolano le ore
che si susseguono con
un alternarsi di gioie e di dolori.

Vorrei spezzare la catena
che ci intrappola
in un mondo di illusioni e
guardarmi vivere
dall`alto di una vetta
per ridimensionare
l`effimera realta` terrena.

THE FISH

I saw a fish wearing a hat.
And where did you see that?

I saw him swimming in the sea
while I was sipping my cup of tea.

I waived at him and he waived back
and in doing so he lost his hat!

EMPTY SHELLS ON A BEACH

Feelings are the reflection of one`s soul.

They can be as calm as the water of a lake.
They can be tempestuous like a stormy sea.
They can be distant and cold
like snowy mountais.
They can slice hearts like sharp knives
or they can be soothing like a healing balm.
What would we be without them?
Empty shells on a beach.
