Every magic word
15 May 2016
Our burdens
The sum of sorrows
We carry
Their dead gait
Knees caving under the weight
Of wasted morrows
Open heart
Let the sorrow drip
Like the rain
Kissing Earth
See in their embrace rebirth
Of inner children
We were once
The kings of playgrounds
Our chests bare
Laid down hair
The dark stringent marks of Time
Still unwoven threads
Soul carefree
We danced with the winds
That shook fierce
All the fires
Within heart carving desires
The mind a wild bird
Bleak routine
Settling in with hooks
Anchored us
Rooted feet
Day by day we faced defeat
Of the larky times
The dreams dreamt
They are lost in mists
Read in books
Blown in winds
Paper scattered now rescinds
Every magic word
Reading of the poem:
Profumo di donna – Enrico Rava
Mi ritorni in mente – Enrico Rava
Spleen – Enrico Rava and Richard Galliano
