                                                                                                                                        e le mie ali stanche ormai non reggo


                                                                                                                                        avevo il nido qui sù questa chiesa
                                                                                                                                        da qui spiccavo il volo ogni mattina


                                                                                                                                        forte e felice di esser vivo,


                                                                                                                                        sì, qui son stato amato e ho amato tanto


                                                                                                                                        ma forse mi confondo, sono stanco
                                                                                                                                        ormai non vedo più oltre del mio becco


                                                                                                                                        ma sento il sole caldo entrarmi in petto
                                                                                                                                        per l'ultimo tramonto ho ancora il tempo.



                                                                                                                                        English Translation:

                                                                                                                                        The Last Sunset
                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                        I am an old, gray sparrow now
                                                                                                                                        My wings are tired
                                                                                                                                        And I can no longer endure

                                                                                                                                        I had a nest here on this church
                                                                                                                                        And soared from here every morning
                                                                                                                                        Strong and happy to be alive,

                                                                                                                                        Yes, here I was loved and in turn I loved with all my heart

                                                                                                                                        Maybe I'm confused, I'm tired
                                                                                                                                        I can not see farther than my beak now

                                                                                                                                        But I feel the warm sun in my breast

                                                                                                                                        For this last sunset I still have time.


                                                                                                                                        It is when we publish poignant poems like these, that we are inspired to make the Green Poetry section more and more a fundamental feature of our communication, for lifting the Green Zeitgeist.

                                                                                                                                        Again, the original Italian version pulsates its message of reverence for the beauty of Life.

                                                                                                                                        Life is indeed a beautiful moment in Eternity, and without a Sustainable Planet we may deny Life's replication of Itself in all its mysterious and magical forms.

                                                                                                                                        Like the Sparrow of this poem we should all reverentially "feel the warm sun" of Life in our hearts, in our breasts.

                                                                                                                                        We should all work together so that each potential moment of Life can indeed have its moment in Eternity.
