Fata Morgana

Fata Morgana
Visionary aesthetics
Rejoicing of beauty
Poetic celebration
Magnificent prodigy of nature
That comes to unite what’s inevitably divided
Spectacular optical effect
Distillate of soul
Miraculous reflection
Reproducing twinklings and blunders
Perceptive madness
Pictorial emotion of an inflamed portrait
The mystic and the supernatural
discards of a squared logic
Come out of the winter of collective minds
And of the lethargy of ruins
Uncontainable like an Arab Phoenix
Mirroring and blowing in the middle of the lands
Reaching out the surface of crystals of sand
Leaving mouths speechless in wonder.
Reggio admires you with watering eyes
Glances that embrace you
Within its dark eyelashes
Enjoying the fluctuation of lights and colours
Enchanting and austere
Haughty and sophisticated in Messina features,
Standing like an ivory statue in the sky
Messina cover up your wounds
You’ll never be alone…
Mother Nature is always by your side
She comes to rescue you
And fulfill your grieved desire
So icy and ardent.
One by one,
Reggio fans its feathers
In a galaxy of colours
Like a peacock in love
Always longing for touching you
From this extreme border of continent’s land
Separated by the insinuation of this narrow course of water
Our Mediterranean Strait
Lapping our coasts
In which you delight to reverberate your image.
Psychic space
Teacher of questions
That gets your soul closer to your skin,
Fata, you leave all astonished
Mirroring yourself in these light blue waters
Sounding of history and culture
Depository of wisdom, dreams and sense of freedom
Ecstatically freezing
The run-up of time
Joining in a single moment
The echo of ancestral memories,
the present and the projection into the future,
In a cosmogonic wait of destinies and metamorphosis
In the illusion of annulling any distance
Between you and your lover.
Tell ourselves the silence…
it keeps and narrates the voices of the sun,
the sounds of the earth,
The muscles of the hearth.
It’s sonority, emotional communication.
