clemency

the gates to the land of tenderness

are silently opening

under a gentle

nightly rain

softening the dry soil

that had become impenetrably hard

by a continuous exposition

to the sun

seasons

a cloudy morning

with a fresh breeze

after the rain

reminding

that despite everything

summer is still

ahead

with more unknowns

greater uncertainties

it seems

than estimated

the crumbling

of an old structure

with consequences

only the future

can tell

everyday

as red ripe orange

the sun is detaching itself

from the horizon

announcing a somehow different

day

even if

in every way

it looks like all the others

it is in the subtle layers

that transformation operate

gently continuing a process

invisible for the bare eye

yet more real than most

manners

clouds are covering the sky

and the pigeons seem to finally discover

the corn that has been placed

a few meters away from their usual feeding

the mystery of human behaviours

is revealed in nature

but most of the time we hold on to

what we wish to see

unable to embrace

what is

just in front of our eyes

sunrise

a golden sunrise

blessing

another beautiful day

another sunrise

dawning in a golden heart

that has

for too long

been grasped in cramps

out of fear

for its own

light

mornings

there are mornings indeed

where the past spins its web all over the mind

there are mornings

where dreams about the future

sparkles in an impatient heart

but there are mornings too

where the morningstar is smiling above treetops

and life seems

a blank sheet of paper

a tale

only waiting for

to be written

facing

dreams

revealing truths

one have no wish to commit to

since a different story

has been told in the mind

to keep reality

at bay

there is not a single cloud on the sky

no excuse for not seeing

what is to be seen

and taken into account

how shameful it might be

unflattering to the understanding of

who we are

liberating for the soul
