Since it won't be enough for you, here’s another one ready for the fearless who will have the courage to read it:
The blind man standing at the edge of the sidewalk
waits for someone to notice
and slow down their haste.
And meanwhile, he remains still, his gaze dim
and fixed as if teetering
on a deep abyss.
The blind man listens and above his face
impassive, suddenly there's a grimace
of invisible pain.
But no one sees it in the glow of the light
and the grimace slowly
stitches itself back into his face.
And then suddenly a girl comes to a halt
the blind man smiles and shyly thanks her.
She is certainly beautiful; he feels it in the scent
in the dark a star lights up and a wind blows in
his heart.
He seeks her hand; she lets him find it
and then they set off slowly and let themselves go.
And they leap over the abyss without falling
the two with a light step that seems to fly!
Then gently they land on the other
sidewalk, the blind man and the girl
after that brief flight.
She throws a luminous greeting from the light!
[Dal Buio Lyrics on
link rotto From the dark, he responds shyly and confused.
He wants to say to her, wait, fragrant angel
don’t go away, stay, rest the heart, the breath.
But he feels her hand loosening its grip
and in the dark, the star dims.
He wants to say to her, wait! But there's too much confusion
and the scent fades away, and the blind man with his cane
continues on his dark path, swaying a bit
happy for that nothing like a sweet
Charlotte!
