Wonderful part of me

07/04/2024

A tribute to my river with the words of the poet Carlo Luigi Folcia




I dip my hand

a persuasive buzz of current

it gives me pleasure.

Prasio woods rise from the banks

and white lyrics of wings.

Sun quartz shines everywhere

brown algae dancing flashes of silver.

A warm shiver rises

ineffable spasm of veins

perpetual voice of ancestors.

It's the water that speaks

the water that surrounds

the water that captivates.

You are here big river

life teacher

wonderful part of me.

You are flow and cool

embankment and wave

free sky.
