There was a time
when life’s rhythm was smooth,
when faith was natural,
at home,
and in the whole world,
and Hope was in everything,
naturally.
Fortunate times
of learning
and simplicity
The future was certain
for the general wellbeing,
and for everything,
Purity had a place
and Love was a real possibility.
We were children,
and lived like children,
and the world was also a child…
it seems…
Now,
we live in another time,
accelerated
and challenging.
We are the same,
but our perception of life has changed,
and our consciousness is confused.
We grew fast
and let our dreams aside.
We made of a vast and rich world
our property,
our possession.
We forgot all
that impelled us
gently.
We replaced everything
by desires,
by what I want.
How much more do we have to fall?
Return to innocence
is not possible,
but purity,
yes.
Who will provide the ropes
to take us out of this pit?
We are divided,
separated from each other
within the whole world.
I plead
to the ones who go through
hopelessness,
who search
the way out,
that may the ones who see
and carry the light
illuminate
the ones that are still in the dark.
For I am certain that
the eagle which threads its flight
at celestial heights,
and observes it all,
serenely,
is ready to come in aid
to us all.
