When Space Becomes a Star
written by: Giuliana Ravaglia
There are timeless nights on the shore of an instant
Moments that return to the edge of the eyes, waiting for a call
Like sails moored on the horizon, always ready to retrace the path of a voice
When space becomes a star and everything takes on the flavor of mystery
While the Christmas lights furtively stretch toward a cobalt sky and the cardboard paths lead to the cave
It’s here that I return every year
It’s here that I rediscover an endless clamor
The painting of a memory
The joy of a thought
When the Living Nativity took shape and molded in my hands like clay of living air
And a tear fell on my young smile that always rediscovered the good taste of my little village among the stars…
