Believing Is Seeing

Between wanting and not being able
to live comes and goes without much measure
and time passes without looking
where the one who walks is supposed to arrive.
How to know if there is a place
where to end
the journey?
To be or not to be is not the fundamental question
because I am until the end
the same thing,
but what matters to me is to regain the innocence
to be able to start over
and for love to respond.

An experience, however fatal,
cannot condemn poetry,
nor even relegate
the most fundamental: fantasy.
Where is the dream and where is
the reality
that inhabit us?
A butterfly has never been seen without its flower
nor a wound without pain
nor a heart that hides;
that's why in every geography the essential thing
is to create the unusual
when passion overflows.

There is no greater force or reason
than the one that comes from your heart.

When in the distance sky and sea
are one and the same blue for the sight,
it doesn't matter much the version,
because here two things are, and very different.
Why believing is also seeing
that wonders are about to happen!
If it is not yet possible to unite waiting with the end
and the upcoming story
does not excite the occurrence,
giving time to time is a trivial idea
because the future is already here
with little and great urgency.
