If I were…
My awakened star
I look for nothing except
the light of the sea
The waves of passion
are attracting me
and the colour blue fills me
If I were the earth’s light
I would be a cover for lovers
If I were the world’s power
I would be an embrace for orphans
If I were a baby’s laugh
I would be drops of joy
fallen on thirsty lips
If I were a thrill coming out
from eyes
I would be the talk of innocents
If I were a prophet
I would paint humanity in my language
and peace in hearts
As the lost
in the paradise of lovers
As the wondered in the road of travelers
I would come back alone
carried by angels.
