Neve sul mare, che racconta un po' di sé,
E di una sua filosofia
Cerco spesso le sirene nel sole di mezzanotte,
Come una nuova fantasia.
Quante lettere scritte, quante lettere non spedite,
quante carte a cui insegnare il senso del viaggio per navigare.
Matematica degli anni, geometria delle passioni
E del tempo a venire
Quando sogno le sirene poi le incontro nella notte
E con l'alba le sento morire.
Quante insicurezze, quanti momenti da sovrastare,
Quanti figli a cui insegnare il senso del viaggio per poi navigare.
E per un attimo
Risento le sensazioni che provavo anni fa
Con l'oracolo di Delfi
Che troneggia sulla Grecia come un sole all'imbrunire.
Colpito a tradimento da bandiere senza terra
Bruciate nella luna
Capisco le sirene se mi rubano la notte,
Come un'antica fantasia.
Quanti sogni al cielo, quante nuvole gettate nel fuoco,
Quante riflessioni, quanti pensieri da dominare.
Un urlo si accende tra le onde del mare,
È l'anima che batte le mani
È un raggio di vita che grida più forte
Per poi fermarsi e osservare
Le pieghe sul viso dei propri amori
Che vivranno in eterno
E che come le nuvole come vengono se ne vanno.
E per un attimo
Risento le sensazioni che provavo anni fa
Per gli oracoli nel mondo
La parola o il silenzio sono oramai la stessa cosa.
