the sweetest victory

not in the autumn wind
not in the summer sun
not in the long-awaited victory
not in the moon that does not know or does not want to listen
not far away in the suburbs of the world
no

instead
deep in our heart dwells the cure to the pain of living
 and not knowing if tomorrow the sun will rise again

  only in our heart
and the sweetest victory is in giving a little good to those around
the award is the smile of every new traveling companion we meet on our way
and come what may
under this gray suburban sky
