DIKBASANIS CHRISTOS-GREECE
GIOCONTA'S BABY
For my newborn granddaughter
May the Lord be always with you
baby of tomorrow’s hope
Silently your crying begins
to tear our sky apart
Melody of a beautiful angelic world which arrives with little feet
naked, cute,
with a blindingly pure look
that nails it sweet
like knife in our soul
May the Lord always stand
by your side, to arrange
the white clothes of your future life
In the afternoon you leave
the stars of your dreams
to illuminate our doubtful age
In the crazy fog of our imagination,
in our mind the furious tropes
you unleash your care into harmony The dates of your upcoming life
they keep coming back to our memories
who were not born yet
but they are going to exist irrevocable
May the Lord be with you always
baby of tomorrow’s hope
She holds you in her arms
Gioconda your mother
with a thin, transparent,
fragile expression
She feels happy that she can touch
with trembling hands
your electrified form
Your light penetrates her
It spreads everywhere
It brightens our tired faces
It breaks the wrinkles
of our worries about you
It fills us with colors, smells
myths newborns from the world
of your desires
who direct with their visions
the arrow of our relentless time
in our clouded eyes.
The excitement of our young days
engrave your own way through the paths
of bright destinations
which slowly unfold in front of you
May the Lord always be with you
