Painting by Jose Roosevelt
I’m as old as the
World, as the suffering of
Every woman.
I’m as young as the hope that
Darkness can never turn off.

A knight
We play all the day
In the garden, in the wood.
He is my best friend.
He is the knight who defends
My days, my night and my life.
Free
Painting by Steve Hanks
I fly with the wind
I am free, nobody can
Put me in chains.
I come and go in this world,
I have broken all the chains.
“Hey! Have you ever
Hugged the wall because you
Are so different?
They would kill you because of
Your race your gender, your faith.
Whisper
Painting by Steve Hanks
A whisper – at dusk –
Send an invite to heaven
It carries your voice.
I already close my eyes,
Caressed by your words.
