Occorrono ponti
Occorrono ponti costruiti da mani
capaci di dipanare nodi
incancreniti dall’incuria del tempo,
dall'avidità senza fine
e dall’incapacità di vedere oltre i muri stesi.
Al posto d' arrugginite dolenti
spianate di fili spinati,
visibili o invisibili,
s'interrino semi di fiori
resistenti e variopinti:
corridoi di braccia che sanno amare,
di cuori che sanno cantare,
di corde che sorreggano
e mantengano libere le vie da una sponda
all’altra, da un’alba all’altra.
Intrecci di strade luminose che consentano
di guardarci l'uno con l'altro negli occhi senza paura.
Occorre onorare la vita fino in fondo
e celebrarla attimo dopo attimo, sempre.
Se solo sapessimo di essere minuscoli
punti di vita tra intervalli di tempo e spazio;
se solo sapessimo di essere schegge
che si credono dee, mentre siamo solo
finti padroni con tra le mani fumo
e vestiti con i lisi abiti di arlecchino.
Se solo pensassimo che nessuno è un’isola
e che ogni cellula sulla terra è parte di noi
tanto intima quanto il sangue nelle nostre vene.
Siamo mosaici di specchi e di sfumature
per crescere un poco fino alla fine.
Siamo esseri immersi in campi d’infinite possibilità
nei quali intingiamo il pennino del pensiero
per tentare di raggiungere il centro e (ri)trovarci.
Se dovesse arrivare sera
Potessero avere le ali
i più bei ricordi
e trasformarsi
in gocce di rugiada
a rinfrescare terreni
e di pane nutrire i silenzi.
sussurrare sogni alla luna
e i rami svegliare
a riempire vuoti con suoni
e chiamare luci
senza più avere paura,
tu possa continuare ad amare.
