-- Snow Owl -----
I put on my head white scarf
and went to seek your sign
in this forgotten from God land,
where I traced your steps,
in Cathedral city I sensed your smell
it was in the air of square as sweet
cinnamon cookies, and cherries and cream
I flew so long looking for your shadow
my white feathers merged with the pale sky,
until I felt tired in the lonely fly...
Then finally I saw you down, on a bench
in the sanctuary yard, surrounded by lilies
I was your soul, but how could you know?
You were so scared, with look of a pray,
Do you think I would hurt myself?
I just flew next to you, on a bush,
I didn`t know your are not as me now,
you saw me not as your lover, but as a snow-owl.
