Spring Showers

Under the blue skies

Seeds shall live to sprout anew

And the sun will return

After each spring shower.

Paolo Driussi

In the silent night you come to me

I sense your shape lulled by the curve of the crescent moon

Entranced by the soft caress of the murmuring breeze

And bewitched by the surging sigh of the sea.

Paolo Driussi

Given a sunny day to do as I please,

I'd climb every tree,

I'd hide in the bushes to never be found.

I'd let the blue sky fill my eyes,

And I'd gaze at the sun until time ends.

Paolo Driussi

Magical mirrors of lakes to skate

While we are tasting snowflakes

On our tongues.

Wintertime keep our hearts warm

Till spring comes.

Paolo Driussi

I walked out to a poplar wood
And I decided I would stay
The poplars sighed and gently swayed
I rested in their shade.

Paolo Driussi

I'm looking at clouds playing as they change shape

At times it seems they come into collision.

Clouds are filled with joy and riddles

Their beauty lies within purity.

Paolo Driussi

ALL AT SEA

When I arrived, dark blue was the color
At horizon's line, 
Where water and atmosphere kiss.

Minute by minute color shifted.

And then the day's light slowly
Turned the sky to pale pink.

Darkness travelled quickly from
The east covering the sea,
Overtaking me,
While another day breathed its last.
