The Dialogue in a Monologue

Mind:
My dear heart, I want to be remembered
When I’m gone from this life
Remembered for something good
something especially intelligent!
So climbed with me all the mountains
and come down rivers to the seas
I’m looking for knowledge
Searching for all kinds of Oracles
that could tell me more…

Heart:
There is no end to the minds’ fantasies!
I despise old and insipid concepts about eternities!
Just let deep feelings float trough my veins
and for me it is enough
that my muscles can write

Love

Mind:
Be still my heart
thou hast known worse than this
following my curiosity
trough these endless labyrinths
listening even to the stones in the way
will make you reach your stars
will make you believe
in the capacity of learning
something new every day!

Heart:
Oh the mind has mountains
the highest ones you can find
and the deepest seas
And the longest rivers
there is no end to the minds’ fantasies
in those searches for links
linking to the infinity!
Let us just communicate
Making my voice heard
transforming your thoughts into feelings
allowing others to sense
my indiscipline warm and wild beating…

Mind:
Calm down heart of mine
I’m always finding Apollo
that god of music and poetry
just for you to sing and dance

with all those muses you love so much
to make your own Odyssey!
But for now, obey the prism of my open eyes
letting go of useless adherences
finding the profundity of valorizing
the infinite process of growing
this big necessity of finding news!

Heart:
I like to follow the irrational
The supreme knowledge of instincts
Loving the beauty of things
As I breathe with life and love
In each breathe surrender here and now
To all that is natural and beautiful
To this necessity of embracing
The flowers and the kisses
Because I know:

What ever the world thinks about me
the praises, the critics
will make no difference after I’m dead!

Mind:
And I like to try to “correct”
What sounds wrong to me
just for the pleasure of adventure
of thinking something different!
I tell everything and don’t mind to be criticized
I’m not afraid of being wrong or to open my mouth
Because I know:
I will never be remembered
By the words I didn’t say
or the thoughts I didn’t express!
So, be still my heart
Climb with me
Let us search for something new!
