il Tempo
Come in un breve canto d’amore
mi hai sussurrato dolcemente
di non contare i baci e le stelle
che ogni notte svaniscono
alla luce del giorno.
Ma non ho ascoltato
le tue belle parole d’amore
e come granelli ho contato
gli attimi di tempo
finché l’oscurità, rivivere
ti ha fatto nei miei pensieri ,
e ogni notte aspetto il tuo ritorno
come ho fatto per cinque anni.
Come due ragazzini,
ci raccontavamo le nostre giornate,
perfetta era la nostra intesa
ed in anticipo sapevamo
quanto l’altro pensava
e quali parole avrebbe usato.
Forse i miei discorsi
non eguagliavano i tuoi
ma tu mi comprendevi
e mi accettavi per quel che sono.
Oggi non sento più la tua voce,
del tuo mare non percepisco più
l’infrangersi dell’onda…
restan vani pensieri ,
come cristalli di ghiaccio,
che il tempo ha ormai sciolto.
NB:Grazie a Nonno Davide per il suo
aiuto nel scrivere "il tempo".

The night a joyful silence fell
I had a very pleasant Christmas eve,
with my children, husband and my dad
now that some have gone to bed,
others to church and I just stayed
behind to clean-up and take a short
walk so that I could wait for the
big day of the year, CHRISTMAS.
I have no choice but to wear booths,
scarf,a warm coat and a hat, so
I just started walking, walking and more
walking. The streets were so well lit
by decorations, bouncy snowmen full
of lights, windows where you could see
people inside talking & laughing and
a little glass of something in their hands.
My feet kept going not wanting to stop
to explore the streets, homes, windows,
a dog that enjoyed like me a little
exercise in the local park wondering
why it was so quiet and all his friends
were not there to play with him. The
beauty of this walk was the silence in
the alleys & streets, a silence so
intense that you could hear a snowflake
fall or the humming of the street lamps.
I did not rush back home, I just wanted
to feel the fresh air, the thousands colors
adorning homes and a prayer that just
kept assailing me. Nothing fancy for a
prayer, I just prayed for my children to be
well, for my neighbor children to be healthy
and for the world to have peace, then and
only then my feet brought me back home
to the sound of the bells reminding me
of a special birth that took place a long
long time ago, bells that kept announcing
Christmas to the world ....

Sale la luna oltre la mia finestra
e scrutta le case già chiuse
per la notte,girandosi sul piccolo vicoli
correndo verso il mare, si intravedo
un tremolio di fumo, un ombra che
fuma in un scuro angolo della
spiaggia aspettando qualcuno, qualcosa...
Un silenzio spetacolare circonda
l'ombra e di sicuro sta pensando a domani
ed i suoi rumori, al va e vieno della
populazione che non conosce con lingue
mai sentite nella sua vita.
Nel fra tempo si goda quei momenti
tutti suoi nel silenzio di suono e
sogna a la vita ed il mondo che tace
solo per lui. Chiudo la mia finestra,
saluto la luna e ritorna sotto le
coperte per godermi anche io del
muto silenzio della notte.

I saw it
It was a shabby day, cold, gray,
dirty snow from the previous day,
children of all ages stamping their
feet on the sidewalks, older
people hardly standing, keeping
their coats tight around their
frail body to stop the wind,
only their eyes showing with
a few tears from the cold slinding
their rugged faces, the musicians
could not find the proper musical
note to start their instruments,
once in a while a car horne could
be heard in the distance, a fire
truck running not far from a crowd
formed way ahead of time just to
wait, wait and more waiting, when
screams, a police escort, people
chanting and cheering, some wistles
in the cacaphony of the moment to
salute a young man carrying the
magic moment that we all waited for.
The Olympic Flame just passed
like a dream knowing full well that
it would be the only occasion for
many to the the unique moment to
see it go by ..... It was worth it
to the fullest that 2 hours wait for
a minute viewing of the flame.

Gioventu
Ho cercato per le vie un qualcosa
che no so cosa sia. Tra vicoli neri,
rossi e gialli nessuno mi ha prestato
mano. In silenzio io continua a cercare
senza trovar nulla. A volte il silenzio
mi porta un consiglio che io no so
riconoscere. Nel buio della notte e
chiarezza del giorno guardo senza vedere
ed ascolta senza sentire. I miei occhi
no si fermano di cercare ed io no li ferma
per paura di no potere più vedere cosa
c'e intorno a me. Niente riesce a traversare
il mio corpo, il mio camino o le mie
sensazione. Ha se avrei vent'anni come una
volta quando io era un po senza cervello
e mi lamentava con tutti e per tutto. Oggi
questo si rifiuta a seguire il mio corpo
e si ribella per me al mondo che in silenzio
tace sia che nella notte o durante il giorno
con le mille distrazione possibile. gioventù
gioventù mi hai lasciata sola e mai potrà
più raggiungerti.
