Love
We don’t have the same way to show our feelings
Our eyes
Our hands
Our body are different
But love is unique
An energy that embrace us
Like the morning breeze
***
Voices
So many people cry for help
Cry for freedom
Cry for peace
But why we cry in our happy moments
And
Laugh…..when we are in a very difficult situations?
Maybe this is the self-defense of our organism
Still discovering the human brain
What is certain…?
It is that we have free will
***
My garden
It is life
Everything is surrounding us
Like two arms that embracing our new born
We need 4 seconds to fall in love
We need 8 years to develop our personality
And an entire life to discover
Who we are
