All around me

All around me

I have been walking streets, roads and clouds

of people, children and dreams.

In the summer, the trees give a breeze

and the sunshine rains laughter!

When I walk the winter silence,

my shoulders are the wings of an eagle

and the eyes of a hawk

noticed the song of love.

Autumn gives me, my favourite lights.

Candles do not need to be enlightened.

All around me lives the life of a lover.

I’ve seen them falling, before.

Language and alphabet carry

a first and last line,

I have no idea

who has told, me about it.
