POETRY
The Gaze Rests on the Last Page of the Book
โPROSA POรTICA
by Silla Maria Campanini
(Translated from Italian)
The weather is dark, the wind howls. The pouring rain disturbs valleys and mountains, agitating streams and rivers. Anguish creeps into hearts, the collapse questions: Who will work the landโฆ and the labors on the disturbed roads?
Dreams are in turmoil, for many it is the last night in that house, and the advance of pain. Remaining the emptiness of the absurd, the greeting of memories. The swollen eyes do not reflect the affection of the harvest.
Torrents of sadness drown in the gloom of an autumn marked with red, a gloom that envelops everything. The ephemeral chimera is torn apart by the raw experience in progress. Roots emerge from the fields, drowned trees, submerged by peasant voices, cries troubled by so many mistakes, disrespectful of life.
Where are you, heroic trust, where does your strength and hope expand? The future is threatening, a whirlwind of nothing good. A ray of sunshine touches the roughness of life, declaiming psalms engraved on paper, exhalations of a desire, of a calming of the soul.
Lucubration of words, emptied of the sense of life, hurl chairs and pieces into the gardens, under the shouts of the onlookers and the collapse of bridges. It seems to be at the precipice of an end of life.
The gaze is lost in the expanse of the sky, enveloped in the purifying fire of feelings. The heart breathes oxygen and fresh air, found in a corner of peace. An oasis of bliss in the sadness of a decaying world.
Tomorrow the sky will reveal its beauty. Prayer saves us from thinking, and the gaze rests on the last page of the book. Breath and strength of life, come!
