A cloud in the shape of a smile

A cloud in the shape of a smile passes by

and I try to remember in vain

the rainbow that binds us, the reason for this

mysterious cohabitation.

It is not a human grin it is rather an entity

from another realm, a little ironic and all-knowing,

Hot and glacial at the same time...

I often ask myself, why it is smiling

and why it had chosen me

what stars guide the peculiar nearness.

I wish it would talk, I insist upon it,

but everything happens in absolute silence,

a conspiration of an engimatic universe,

rafined and subtle.

I tell myself, maybe everything is a dream

and I wake up ...smiling.
