Breath of Life
PEOPLE
People… are merely people in all the world.
They have their feelings,
Their anxieties…
And at the end of their lives,
They will have the balance
Of their entire lives.
People… are merely people in all the world.
They have several stages in their lives:
First as babies desiring comfort and care.
Then as school boys or girls, without will in life.
Then come the lovers, like all lovers with broken hearts…
And as an adult, without peace in their lives.
People… are merely people in all the world.
Life passes by… and soon old age comes.
Very soon they reach their sixties, their seventies.
The age of wisdom, the age of knowledge.
Wishing to return to the time of their childhood,
Desiring as before the same comfort, the same care…
BUT BEING FORGOTTEN
At home. London, 1998

WITHOUT YOU IN THE PARK

I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY
Breath of Life I wish I could live intensely, The time lost in the past, The lifeless past time, The time lost in life. I wish I could live intensely, Because time has not given me its time, Because I didn't feel the time in time, Simply... because I didn't have time....
