Carpe Diem - Autumn
A dialogue in between Time and Life.
AUTUMN
Life: Running away is useless.
Time: Running away from what?
Life: From Death. Didn´t you learn it as well? Death reaches also the running man.
Time: How melancholic you are today!
Life: Maybe it is because in that end of summer all the things had something of passionate and sweet…
Time: Your voice is broken… I can see the tears rising up to your eyes…
Life: I don´t know where this sadness comes from but it rises as the sea on the black and nacked rocks…
Time: Nevertheless you smile.
Life: Yeah, I smile, shipwrecking in this sea is sweet.
Time: What are you doing? Dreaming?
Life: Yes.
Time: But Life is not a dream!
Life: Please, let my heart intoxicate with a lie!
Time: You can´t. Remember that dreams are just dreams.
Life: My hands are starting getting knotty as a hazel branches.
Time: You know that hazel branches are since ever used as a divining rod to find water. And water is life.
Life: But it is also death.
Time: Yes, but then it becomes life again. Enough now. Look instead at the red of those leaves shining under the declining sun. Doesn´t it look warm and wrapping as Love´s embrace?
Life: Maybe you are right. A sun ray seems to be enough to sweep many shadows away. I am cold now.
Time: I know. Winter is coming.
