That place…

 

He told me: rowing left, rowing right like that you keep the boat straight

But I was much stubborn to understand

Still very frightened

And love was in their hearts

What are you looking for?

I had made a dream

So I was looking for those gems hidden underground

I had seen them in dream: rubies, emeralds, sapphires

But where could I find them?

First I should plant a seed under the cross on the mountain

And then dig out…

I saw Death

It was a white death

And wasn’t threatening me

I got the mushroom ring

Around my index finger

But I didn’t realize and pulled it up

My mother hugged strong

That purulent wound

With all the tenderness that only a mom can achieve

She blessed me

My mother

With yellow hennè

On my front and my heart

But I was not able to understand

Too much stubborn to understand

And when the moon turned round

He blessed me too

And love was in our hearts

The boat was standing up

Floating

Fell down the poor beggar

On the crowded streets of calcutta

But I was blind

Walking as a tourist

I didn’t see him

I was wearing heavy shoes and dressing scented

He shake all over

Needing help

But my thoughts were too noisy

And I passed by without looking at him

Twinkled a star in the sky

Still so far is the truth?

How far is it from here?

I should take away my shoes

Throw away my clothes

And assist the poors

But it will be not enough

The world’s umbilical cord is choking me with a snaky grasp

The Anaconda’s coils are clutching me

I saw a huge moon

Fall down on the Earth

But it wasn’t the moon

It was the full universe

all the constellations drawn out

It was the peace

A tremendous peace

Without rivals

And love was in our hearts

I got it all wrong

I realized it too late

That star shines so far

Somewhere in the sky

It is the star truth

How far is calcutta from that star?

I saw gods dealing with men

And they where dining

If I wanted they would accept me at their place

But gods were too demanding

And I got scared

Will I ever find my subterranean pearls?

World was playing his role through me

And I couldn’t join in

System started to observe me

To put me under control

I become a computerised machine

without heart

A crazy consol among well organised minds

Star truth wasn’t sparkling in their eyes

But I was doing so many mistakes

My heart claiming at love

I didn’t find it

I couldn’t express it

My heart claiming at that peace…

And the world was joking with me

Until I didn’t see anything

Anymore

I had nothing left but that place…

That magic place I used to live as a child

Spending hours… move it here, put it there

And love was in their hearts
