Adagio Cantabile Poem by Betim Muco

For Sagita

Have you asked yourself
If you had the wind
As a good companion
In your short travel of life
Whether you pushed your days
As a long-suffering Sisyphus
Or have been pressed by them
Towards huge horizons
If you have ever hold the sky
In your palm
As a blue shine petal
And if your heart pounded
As a bell of a temple
Where faithful come praying
Have you asked yourself
On your give-and-take
With the people
And if you harbored in your mind
Ancient wisdom
If the lanterns of dreams
Still glitter in you
And if you can get your way
To your home
Drunken on nights
Amidst the big absurd of this world?
My daughter
Many come and go
As through a book
That is not written nor read
By them
And they are buried in air
Long before being covered
In earth.
