Echoes of the elder forest

Somewhere in the edge

in a dark forest in ancient Germany,

I will finally find peace

in the earth washed clean of its blood

and plowing of tears ...

At the end of summer ,

carrying in my luggage 

the wisdom of age ,

several books of magic spells

and also a bold seadog\'s

meerschaum pipe .

I , who do not smoke .

Just to get a taste of the story

and not forget my Robinson soul...

I would like a land 

bathed in infathomable swamps ,

populated by water nymphs ,

few indolent fauns ,

and even an alluring  enchantress...

Abandoning my emotions 

to the journey of the seasons ,

mixing some italian wovels 

in german winters .

 Poem, swallowed up in a lake

forgotten by time ...

An old wizzard telling me 

these legends of the world beyond...

The nostalgia for my lost youth 

and past loves will return to me .

Prelude to the fragile sweetness 

of a late september afternoon...

Ignored by the solitary passer-by,

you,heartbroken lover 

who has no regard ...

 Under the damp moss 

of the great oak tree of life ,

 I would rest .
