Not Enough

Waking up in the daybreak 
of another distress.
Standing with two winds 
on your side
a little early, a little late.
Maybe time is a jail 
and you own the key
of your cave.
You stay inside 
until the end of the hurricane,
until nature accepts you, 
until you accept her,
until you love 
each other again.
Around you, desert roads 
of a disaster 
that you created.
You were it's God and gave it 
shape and color and style. 
The only thing that you didn't give
is voice, 
to call you in the middle of the night.
You, only you, 
can tame your fears
with a promise 
becoming illusion, 
sharing you
between two worlds.
Remember this share. 
You have to walk along.
With a nostalgic pain in the eyes,
near you stand
the oblivion and the dream.
You will walk
but your steps are carrying the winter.
They are floating 
in a desert of guilt.
They are steps of human.
Two drops of tears are not enough 
for these plains.
Two hands are not enough
to raise the sadness of the world.
Not enough.
