Paradise Lost II

The smile abandoned lost in the shadows of the trees.

Like a flash, as a relic, like a sigh.

The games that recreated epics and silent films.

As a beat, as the mourning of the wind, as rumors of the sea.

The song of the night in the hands that pray and dream.

As a stupor, like wheat drying in the sun, like a dead start. The dolls in stone at the site of the imagination.

As a fear, like a howl, like everything to be born.

And so they spend their days and passing the time.

Everything happens, nothing troubles you, memory is a sometimes impenetrable forest.

But no one plays, no truncated wooden swords, one draw hopscotch and old papers... there are only lost paradises.
