The Dreaming Heart


faced with the difficult choice
between dream and reality
on the fatal shore
i choose the fecund dream for solace

i swallow the universe
of desire
finding inspiration
in the fertile imagination
of the soul
as the gloomy
uncertainty
of life trembles in the wind

dream blossoms
bringing poetry to my world
probing the mystery of being
from the dawn of time

i find a room of my own under the rose petals
a room of light and pure solitude
in the infinity of hope

you put a smile on my lips
as your dream runs
through my veins
blessing my days

i dream, therefore, i am
this glorious moment
i discover the Way
under the warmth of the fragrant moon
how wonderful it is
to see clearly once again
and to feel the heartbeat of dreams?
