\nDECLARATIONS ABOUT LIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nthat which is no longer and will never return
\nIt is a deferred calm that kisses our eyes before
\nwe fall asleep and before we wake.<\/p>\n
\nas if it were a sudden explosion
\nIt comes among the clouds of dust and leans in close to
\ntell us that all shall pass but nothing passes<\/p>\n
\nthe strings of a violincello
\nAnd it sings to us a baroque song to make us
\nbelieve that it is full of beautiful details<\/p>\n
\nour most precise center
\nIt does not allow us to steer away from what is important
\nalthough we usually end up lost.<\/p>\n
