Watch us sing the memories of our childhood and read the words written in blue ink which drown our wrinkles in an ocean of joy.

And we grow, we move, we regress and start again. Always guided by the light of a hardened heart. We sit down and contemplate about tomorrow, so that tomorrow will be better than yesterday.

Tears never dry, unceasingly present in our eyes or on our cheeks, allowing the tree of wisdom to grow. โShut up, donโt tell them, theyโll think youโre whingeingโ. I wish they would listen to me the way I listen to you, without judgment or a whit of hate.

Judgement is the food of emptiness. So fill your soul with kindness, love and passion. Fill it with empathy. Read! Read not to judge, read to understand the songs of the deaf. Thatโs when you will not judge the one who scares you.

I saw her growling under a starry sky. I saw the rays of the sun as they rested gracefully on her waves. I saw the sea sweep away the dreams of the one who surrendered to life, but I never saw them return. When I saw the sea, I saw the painting of God. She is eternal, the mother of everything, she is calm and bewitching. When I saw the sea, I didnโt want to leave anymore, so I stayed.

And then, what? People love and then separate. Others fight but stay together, to not get lost in the maze of old age. Love that falls from the sky is the purest gift that man can accept. Love awaits us, hunts us down, then shoots us. Do you love me? I still love you a little, probably more than I ever did.

Loneliness is like a cloud in the midst of summer. And we, poor beggars, wait for the rain. I often feel lonely, but I smile effortlessly, as if to give my days the most sweet revenge. You know, today I feel lonely, more lonely than ever. So I write to you and you will answer me back, surely. Will you answer me? I donโt hear you whispering in my head anymore. Have you left?

They often tell me that I am full of hope, that I smile wide, that I am conventionally kind. You too are full of hope, because you grow in these words. Do not forget me, do not forget the tenderness of a kiss and the shyness in a look.

Iโm tired, arenโt you? If fate had ears, Iโd ask it to sleep. I donโt sleep anymore, you knowโฆ So I read, I try, to turn the pages of my life and discover a new one. Then one day, maybe one day, Iโll write my destiny like you. With the strength of the heart and if our legs support us, we will walk and read together its most beautiful ending.

If the world is a painting, then music is its color palette. You know me, I chose yellow, because yellow illuminates. I need some light because, you know, the path is dark. When I laugh the child laughs too, so Iโm happy. And this second of joy is like a blissful musical note. And then we drink, we dance, we sing and we laugh, as if to forget the burden of the spirit.

Yes, they belong to you. I stole them from the depths of your silence. Donโt be angry, I wrote them so that one day you could read them. I wrote them a little while ago, but you spent your life ignoring them. Do not ignore what hurts you. Fight and accept the burns that the fires of reality provoke. Fight, or else lose yourself in the ocean of your doubts. But first, tell me โฆ
Did you know that?
No, I didnโt know .. and now, I know.
