Small Talk

Do not talk to me about the weather, for to me,

each day brings something new whether it is sunny or cloudy

and the only time I really pay attention to it

is when trees show their true nature and they dress

with passion and promises before dying a little

Do not talk to me about the world events ,

religion, faith, politics or else

for the world at the end is too small for us

yet we barely live enough to say hello to our neighbor

Do not talk to me about your duties and about right or wrong

or about morality or about what should be or not be

for I have learned in life that there is only one truth if any

and that is to be honest to yourself and very seldom we are too

Do not talk to me about the things you would like to do

or how you wish things were

for theres only one moment to grab, one instant to asses

and you are already using it

Talk to me instead of who you are and what you dream to be with me

Talk to me of what you feel and what you really want from me

talk to me about how you know who I am and why Im here

and then I surely stop on my way, stay for a while

and listen with my heart to only you
