SANTA CROCE DI MAGLIANO casa con torre 1Reflections

In the reflection of the crystalline water

Every human being sees himself

Only when he walks with his brothers

And living in loyalty will not have stopped

The mystery of love since childhood

From the intimate and in every action expressed

So that the ability to see the other dominates

And every good intention transmitted.

Drop of water, of life essence and nectar to share and today make good use because tomorrow it will be too late

Not being able to quench the thirst of body and soul anymore every water dispenser is closed

Nor will you be able to drink with your own hands.

The colors of the sun at dawn are reflected on the icy road on the walls of the purple red house with a pulsating heart and illuminated inside.

Even a little is enough of the here and now of fresh air always breathed among green trees high in the sky every person is savored of nature is in love.

The colors of purity blend with the green of hope the bright red of the burning fire

That from the outside chimney gives beauty seems to repeat that in everything constancy is needed and enough will never be too little

The clear gaze cannot hide

Sensations deep in the heart,

He did not go to the mask market

He cultivates the garden sowing love.

 

Sometimes bright eyes so as not to cry

They communicate calm so as not to worry

They are bright and try to smile

And prevent those who love them from doubting

 

That happiness even if not very desired

The eyes, the mirror of the soul

And they never betray anyone

 

They are the language of the loved one

Who understands when tears remain inside

To fall is not the right time.
