Life in Smallville

entry picture

The wind blows through the palm trees
like someone passing by without a sound,
but leaves the trace of its presence
in the song of the birds.

The sun is already low,
and the earth, warm, breathes slowly.
Each step is a reminder
that time is a road that doesn't turn back.

Life is made of small gestures:
the worker’s embrace,
the child's smile,
the gaze of the woman who makes a home a port.

Here, where the sky meets the earth,
everything is simpler.
What matters is not what’s missing,
but what remains of hope
in the eyes of those who walk.
