I Met a Word - Alexis Karpouzos

Last night, in my dream,

while i was wandering in the wild lands and crossing silent shadows,

i met a word and asked: what's your name?

''My name is love and i'm alone in life,

i need you, otherwise will be lost the dream."

i answered, ''we need you too,

but we are in pain and scared and don't admit it.

Please, lend me your glowing eyes."

''No, no need, you're in the embrace of light, but you've forgotten it.

You have forgotten the sacred intellect,

the silent union

and you live like a beast."

And the love continued, ''take my hand human,

you don't remember the dream of love,

but the great dream of our heart remembers us,

as the sun are there even and the earth turns,

until the end of the world.
