Francesco’s evocative poem shows how love drifts like the sea—mysterious, deep, and timeless. In its tides, we lose ourselves and find something eternal, for Different Truths.

It's like the sea
our life
words flow
thoughts sink
mute summer evenings
that silently  carve furrows
stir hearts
in the dreams
of shipwrecked people
lovers' wrecks
on the shores
of the golden shores
of eternal passions.
It's like the sea
of life
drifting boats
heaved anchors
desires
crowd
our senses
while the tide
of our days
surprises us
and pushes
into the wonderful
clearings
of our loving
hearts.
