(S)He Sleeps*

"

There's a piece of light
in this darkness
to lend me some peace.
Time calms everything:
the tempest and the calm.


I'll always keep;
the soft voice of the sea,
breathing again the rain that will fall
over my body and will wet
the flower that grows inside me,
and laughing again,
and every day, 
for an instant
thinking again of you

"
