……….oltre ti porto e più oltre del tempo……
….con ME vedrai l’immobile eterno……
abbracciata d’immensa e chiara presenza
l’universo intero sarà la tua stanza
e scioglierai il gelo di tutti gli addii
e luce sarà….. sui giorni più bui…….
con ME sarai volo che penetra il volo
battito d’ala che espande nell’eco…..
nota che torna al suo diapason perso
parola vivente che saprà infine il suo verso….
lascia che l’acqua ti scorra ovunque
più dentro e più fuori delle membra e la mente…………….
al di là delle ore che ti fanno più male
e dentro i sentieri che non vuoi vedere
………….lascia che il fuoco sia il solo padrone
brucerà le torri le reti le notti vane
un pulsare lieve sarà il tuo respiro
solo un cuore infinito cosciente del vero…..
sciolto in ascesa che va al sole estremo
dimora di pace e bene supremo……….
e poi canta con gli occhi la gioia improvvisa
portala ovunque il tuo viaggio la chieda……….
……………………e non temere se ancora sentirai il vento
è solo il ricordo che cerca il suo centro……
chiede a TE la via per tornare
perché ora sei VITA e puoi solo dare……..
perché il dono è potente e non perde la forza
perché la fonte è eterna e sempre trabocca…….
potrà inondare i deserti più ostili
e danzare la LUCE nei templi più chiusi……….
alzerà nuove e lucenti bandiere
sopra gli altari di pietra e le vecchie frontiere……..
…….ora afferra quel cielo che in palmo ti porgo
e riavrai tutto l’AMORE che credevi perso

*****************************
……….I will take you beyond and beyond time……
….with ME you will see the eternal immobile……
embraced by immense and clear presence
the whole universe will be your room
and you will melt the frost of all goodbyes
and there will be light... on the darkest days...
with ME you will be flight that penetrates flight
beating of a wing that expands in the echo…..
notice that he returns to his lost tuning fork
living word that will finally know its verse….
let the water flow everywhere
more inside and outside of the limbs and the mind…………….
beyond the hours that hurt you the most
and into the paths you don't want to see
………….let the fire be the sole master
it will burn the towers, the nets and the vain nights
a slight pulsation will be your breathing
only an infinite heart aware of the truth…..
loose in the ascendant going to the extreme sun
abode of peace and supreme good……….
and then sings with his eyes the sudden joy
take it wherever your trip requires it……….
……………………and don't be afraid if you still feel the wind
it is only the memory that seeks its center...
asks YOU for the way back
because now you are LIFE and you can only give……..
because the gift is powerful and does not lose strength
because the source is eternal and always overflows…….
will be able to flood the most hostile deserts
and dance the LIGHT in the most closed temples……….
will raise new and shiny flags
above the stone altars and the old borders……..
…… .now she grasps that sky that I offer you in her palm
and you will get back all the LOVE you thought you lost

The Apollo 11 astronauts are greeted upon their arrival in Paris, 1969.
Also, I love the fact that the caption (originally in French) referred to the astronauts as “the conquerers of the moon.”
