Adagio Cantabile

For Sagita Have you ever asked yourself If you've had the wind As a boon companion For your brief journey, life Whether you push your days Like a long-suffering Sisyphus Or if they force you Towards huge horizons If you've ever seized the sky To hold in your palm Like a shimmering blue petal Or if your heart sometime pounded Like a temple bell Calling believers to praying? Have you asked yourself What you give people, what you take And if you've ever harbored Ancient wisdom in your mind If the lanterns of dreams Still glow in you And if you can find your way home Drunk at night Amid the grand absurdity Of this world? My daughter Many come and go As through a book That is not written nor read And they are already buried in air Long before being entombed In the earth.
