"Ali per volare"

Happy 2018!

Color the world

If it were a foggy day
I would blow hard
to get the sun back
if it was a rainy day
I would run cheerful and wet my face
waiting for the rainbow
if it were a sunny day
I would turn around on myself
making the air fresher
if hail falls from the sky
ring out with chopsticks
beating a new rhythm
if it were the snow to whiten the lawns
I would mark my steps
waiting for spring
of flowers I would crown the world
of essence I would smell dreams
of hope I would lighten the days
