I know that we have
To understand ourselves
More than the others,
We have to know
What burns our mind
And the reasons of the fire,
Try to put out it
Before it propagates in walls
Of the neighbouring house,
At the houses of the others,
We have to write everything
On the paper of the seasons
Without burning the paper,
We have to act
Without leaving ashes
In the eyes of the children,
I know that we have
To understand ourselves
More than the others,
Let the laughter fly away
As golden butterflies
And tears to shine
As sincere rivers
like silver in the heart,
I know that we have to be
Solitary trees
And never spread our roots
Farther than in the garden
Where we were born
Where we hardened our barks.
