Vita della mia vita,

sempre cercherò di conservare

puro il mio corpo,

sapendo che la tua carezza vivente

mi sfiora tutte le membra.

James Gwynne

Rabindranath Tagore | Se tu non parli / If you do not speak..

Se tu non parli

riempirò il mio cuore del tuo silenzio

e lo sopporterò.

Resterò qui fermo ad aspettare come la notte

nella sua veglia stellata

con il capo chino a terra

paziente.
