    Then I felt
    like some
    watcher of
    the skies.
    When a new
    planet swims
    into his ken.
    - John Keats
    One moment
    your life is a
    stone in you,
    and the next,
    a star.
    - Ranier Maria Rilke


    La Terza Stella
      Penisole, di
      sabbia
      si allungano sul
      mare
      tra le rose di
      roccia
      dentro ai tuoi
      occhi
      cosi vicino ei
      miei
      cosi lontani
      vedo
      l'orizzonte
      blu come
      l'acqua e il
      cielo
      blu come il
      colore della tua
      anima

      brucia, l'aria che
      respiriamo
      si tinge di viola
      e copre questo
      piccolo mondo
      fatto di
      rappresentazioni
      inutili
      la terza stella
      appare

      lyrics by Carla Bissi
    		The Third Star
      Sand's
      peninsulas
      lengthen on the
      sea
      between the
      rock's roses
      Inside your
      eyes
      so close to
      mine
      so far
      I see the
      horizon
      Blue like the
      water and the
      sky
      blue like the
      colour of your
      soul

      The air that we
      breath, burns
      dyes itself of
      violet
      and covers this
      little world
      made of useless
      representations
      the third star
      appears
