GIUSEPPINA GIUDICE

The Silence Of The Night

The silence of the night listens to

the tormenting song of my heart,

the song of my sorrow.

In a stranger country,

far away from what I loved!

I can see furious faces,

suspicious and scared eyes,

running away from me

and then lovely and brotherly hands,

offering help to me.

Wanders my thought, free and nostalgic,

between woods and plains,

of my home beyond the sea.

My body has got profound wounds

in the heart.

My language is different,

but I can understand

the heart’s language!

A Spring Morning

Dawn adorns with roses,

 full of fragrances,

gently fades the sky.

 She hugs tenderly every where

And, in the encounter with the rising sun,

gently spreads all the roses.

Then blends with blue...

On a blooming almond

a lonely bird lays down.

And a seagull shakes its mighty wings,

on the nearby sea!

The breeze carries salty perfume.

Craving for life!

Tired men in white shirts,

 contemplate the beauty of the world,

They breathe its essence

And they wait confident for

The strut of a new day.

 ·

A Love Dream..

I’m holding a dream

in my hands,

tender, sweet, delicate,

but if I open my hand

it will not fly away

cause it comes from the heart.

It’s like a butterfly that

has just met its favourite flower

and flies without any rest

around it.

It’s a little bird that has just learnt to fly.

It needs love, care, respect.

It’s so frail and superb,

very delicate and imposing,

but it can fill every place,

every emptiness,

light up the darkness of my soul,

 and of all people in the world,

who believe in: love, peace!
