last night I dreamed I was talking with a butterfly
time passes by faster and faster
and people do not know anymore how to remember the past
and how to smile to the future
we are always connected , yet we do not talk to each other anymore
we left our dreams outside on the balcony getting spoiled in the cold
long ago we use to keep them in the living room, embrace and caress them
but then slowly , inexorably , everything has changed
everything
has changed .............
but let’s not lose hope !
let’s stop this crazy race now
let’s walk backwards
let’s get down to the street
let us look ourselves into the eyes
let’s give each other a little confidence
just talking to each other
and listening to the symphony of our voices in the wind
let’s try to live for a moment as children do
looking at every single detail
a flower, a butterfly, a little rock on the ground,
as if it was the whole universe
let’s give each other a little confidence
just talking to each other
and talking with the butterflies in this New Year's Eve
and so be it
