Description
*Felt the wet sky above,
around,
inside,
small pond
no doors,
all sounds just vanish
into something undefined
but strong.
Within there's light,
just doubts still come...
The slipping drops
wrap my skin up,
within this pond,
there are still sharks:
I'm not afraid,
I don't feel lost,
I'll keep my promise unbroken
and further on,
day after day,
in my wet pond
I'll find your ray:
there won't be sharks,
just voices gold,
what I can make
is to be yours.

While Italy's under snow menace, (that's why my internet was messy these past days and I couldn't be around),I decided to go with my Stef and some other people to Genova Aquarium, one of the most important in the entire world, today. The occasion was to bring there some paraplegic kids and it has been awesome to share with them the magnificent vision of so many marvels of Nature swimming, showing their beauty and royal moves around, in an atmosphere of purely enchanting silence and light games.
I have many pictures, but it's never easy to take good ones at pools, cos you can't use flashes nor heavy lights and everyone flips around makin everything even more uneasy.This is no really good picture, but after all none of mine are, so ;)...
I decided for this one (many others are gonna be one day in my website... but thinkin of my times next update is gonna be in four months,as the latest one is so recent ;)) cos I find sharks very elegant, unfairly hated and fascinating. And this poem was quitly fitting, though I wrote it about 2 years ago :)
I have many works to see I know, I'll cope with everything tomorrow :) and on Monday.
Now is Sanremo Festival, you know ;) (this can be understood only by Italians!;)) and for teh very first time I am liking it.
So see you tomorrow and.. let's be friendly :)
