I HAVE A SECRET

Painting by Lucia Coghetto





I have a secret to tell:

I am glued to this world.

Who should be blamed for this mistake?

But my head has never been here

over my shoulders.

It is lost in another galaxy

where my moment fits the impossible stars.

My eyes observe

unobservable beauties,

specially those tighten by hope and faith.

I am a self-taught dreamer.

Every day

I challenge myself to see the world

from a different angle.

I like to hang upside-down like a bat

and see some miracles.

I know I can't see any when

my feet are on the ground.

Once I tried to run away,

flee from the poor meaning of life.

The window was open

and invited me to study the Laws of Newton.

When I opened my black eyes,

I was already glued to this time of desacralization.

It has been hard to face what is absolute and undeniable.

(I did all my best to smile)

There must be something that justifies my presence

in this dimension.

But I don't want to philosophize now.

I am open to suggestions.
