I once thought of a plain in the distance,
a sullen figure of a land
put between the mountains and
the sea that I grew up with.
I once remembered a face that drew
me near, that had the
promise of a new start but
looked at the past and would forget.
I once looked at the sky
and seeking my own time
thought I would make a good man,
enough for someone to care.
And then the wind came to me
whispering the sadness of reality
that I alone stand on the plain
and that all that come are gone today.

This is a very compelling melancholic write.

Please know that you are never alone. You are one with everything. Talk to the wind and listen for the answer and feel its caress and then reach out ... don't wait for others to reach out to you.

Love,
Margherita

there are a few good men in the world

mine had to wait 15 years for me

never give up and never be alone in knowing she's out there somewhere
