Prayer

Smile at your first star of the Summer night,

your song of love spreads between thin melancholy

and dreams, prayers unreachable

deep in your universe.

The secret of Nature is in your hands,

takes you away with the wind in your fingers

to the sky,

soft is the return to your lonely road,

paths of firs lead to your being,

kneeling awakens your heart

between the ancient images of Paradise.

Lord, forgive me if I did not believe in you,

forgive my desires of simple serenity

and well-being,

I just want the life for people I love,

so that the eternity of this sea

exeeds my  last breath of hope.
