"Search"

Looking for you,

I've fallen

on the high mountains

like the snow,

fallen

on the waters of the world

like the rain

to find a trace of you

if you've left any.

Looking for you,

I've fallen

on the macadam and on the soil

like a leaf in the fall

from the trees, tall

in the spring of my life

to find a sign of you

if there is any.

Looking for you

at the threshold of every door

in the crossings of all streets

I've mingled days with nights

and months with years

to hear

if you've said a word of love to someone

to see

if you've taken a look of affection at something

keyless locks on all the doors

sentries of the night in all the streets

not a trace

nor a sign of you.

Nothing,

nowhere.

Look!

I've rained with my tears

on the hidden fire of my heart

in order to know

if you leave any ashes.

See!

I've passed through Water,

Soil,

and Fire,

and you're passing

like Wind

without even taking my ashes

with you!
