Chi mi dice che ascolto?
Chi mi dice che parlo?
Chi mi dice che sono?

Non è la voce a dichiararlo,
non è il silenzio a confermarlo.
È il vento che scivola tra le foglie,
è il respiro che accarezza la vita.

Se tu ascoltassi davvero il vento,
sentiresti che io non appartengo
a un luogo soltanto,
ma sono ovunque:
nell’attimo che fugge,
nella luce che nasce,
nel cuore che si apre.

Io sono,
semplicemente,
nell’invisibile che ci unisce.

Who says that I listen?
Who says that I speak?
Who says that I am?

It is not the voice that proclaims it,
nor silence that confirms it.
It is the wind flowing through the leaves,
the breath caressing life.

If you truly listened to the wind,
you would feel that I do not belong
to just one place,
but I am everywhere:
in the fleeting moment,
in the rising light,
in the heart that opens.

I am,
simply,
in the unseen that binds us.

Everyone has tasted it,
its fire, its hidden sweetness.

Wash it a thousand times,
boil it, roast it, grind it fine
still it clings, still it lingers on the tongue.

So it is with certain souls:
no kindness softens them,
no gentle word can turn their core.

Do not grieve.
Keep your flavor pure,
and let theirs be their own.

oh sad eyes,
look up,
try to see—

it’s not over.

you didn’t break,
you didn’t falter.

i know it’s hard,
harder to deny—

sometimes you
have to let them go
before your soul dies.

you can’t carry two worlds
when only one is yours.

look at me,
sad eyes,

i promise
it’ll be okay.

sometimes you
have to build walls,
draw a line in the sand.

sad eyes,
please understand—

it doesn’t mean hate,
it means you chose peace
over conflict.

maybe one day
you’ll cross paths again,
and both of you
will understand.

sad eyes,
look up,
try to see—

this is not
the end of you.

When the day won’t move and the clocks aren’t tickinG,
    A lonely hour feels like an iNvitation
        Into endless Isolation.
           aTTacking
     Internal thoughts Into
   A vengeance against   Nobody.
Without a minute to spare yet nothinG to do.

What I like
doesn't make
a thing right-
what I dislike
doesn't make
the thing a blight :
life can't be viewed
just from a single side
