NATALE IN VOLO. SU UNA FOGLIA ("CLOSE TO ME")

Parole incidono carne,

Schiaffeggiano anima.

Fragore di buio,

Silenzio assordi,

Rumore confondi.

Distolto è lo sguardo.

Riscoprire fragilità, cura,

Osata rinascita,

Generazioni, Kairòs.

Unici e soli,

Tutti noi siamo,

Ciascuno è.

Improvvisa, 

La luce,

Natale in volo, 

Con te che dormi,

Oltre le nuvole.

"Close to me" 

Croce bambina,

Entrambi abbracci.

Insieme preghiamo,

Su una foglia.

Francesco Lauria, Reykjavík, 25 dicembre 2025

I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

I wish I'd stayed

Asleep today

I never thought this day would end

I never thought tonight could ever be

This close to me

Just try to see in the dark

Just try to make it work

To feel the fear

Before you're here

I make the shapes come much too close

I pull my eyes out

Hold my breath and wait

Until I sha-ha-ha-hake

But if I had your faith

Then I could make it safe and clean

Oh if only I was sure

That my head on the door was a dre-ea-eam

I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

I wish I'd stayed

Asleep today

I never thought this day would end

I never thought tonight could ever be

This close to me

But if I had your face

Then I could make it safe and clean

Oh if only I was sure

That my head on the door was a dre-ea-eam
