fire

a sky on fire

greeting a new day

with intense beauty

lasting only the time

for the impression to make

its imprint on the soul

leaving grey indifference for the eye to rest on

while fire pervades the body

embracing the past

purifying the future

into golden presence

extraordinary

a perfectly grey sunrise

does not mean

that it cannot be

an extraordinary wonderful day

shower

the lizards were playing in the sun

while veils of smoke were being washed away

by showers of love

the reflections in the mirror

are no longer the same

the sharpness slightly overwhelming

after so many years

covered in what seemed

endless layers of dust

whereas all it takes

to bring it back to life

is a shower of love

counterpart

still not accustomed to the cold

though the sharpness it brings

is received with gratitude

removing veils of illusion

left behind by the past

there is no such thing

as a life without suffering

but there are lives

where suffering is given

all the attention

even if through denial

especially when

through denial

and there are lives

where suffering is just there

to counterpart the depths of joy

defence

shrinking under the cold

brought in by the rain

the body is defending itself

in accusations

building a wall to protect itself

where the only menacing threat

is that of gentle falling

nourishing rain

not even a thunderstorm

destroying the young crops

just a gentle falling

nourishing rain

softening the soil

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
