For a Distant Lady

May the sea have the strength
               of your courage in leaving...
               May the sun shine
               of your happy soul when you lighten up...
               That the vigor of the dawn
               keep the taste of your mouth...
               That the beauty of your mystery
               delight the world for life...
               That the charm of spring
               be in your body preserved...
               that the encouraging words
               follow you on the paths...
               May your own luck
               lucky to find you...
               May you be the happiest creature
               that exists in this world,
               even if you're not
               more with me... I augur
               all this because still
               I want you and I wait for you,
               even in another life,
               another time,
               another world... !
