RAIN

After many sunny days,

My face got as the soil:

So shallow and dried

Within it since my smiles...

We are hit by many foils

With those invisible rays...

Dive on the earth's ground,

Swim through my blood.

It's urgent! So much water is needed!

But, wait! I'm seeing dark clouds!

I'm worried to what will go on

(Will so much buildings and houses

Be seized and demolished?)

And the white air blue turns on:

Running through my lungs,

Surpassing all Earth boundaries...

And start the little drops to run,

As opposite when my body-building

Its time it gets bigger and bigger...

And tears the floor as my face rains

Before my eyes – I can not run...

Away, I need to face what life shows me:

A circle of tears and dries,

Where I shall be able my seed raise...

In a great and beautiful tree

Of wise fruits and historic twigs.
