The Awakening
The awakening is a gentleman
with a thief's face
who stole the night from me in one go
and keeps in his suitcase with a magic lock
the dreams I hid under the mattress.
The awakening with its commotion
always turns on the daylight
is a thief disguised with sunbeams.
The awakening, Captain of the day
fills my bed with commotion
is a thief disguised with sunbeams.
The awakening picked a flower
that I have on my balcony
and covered his face with its scent
with a gesture of love he pushed my eyelids
and opened the doors to the clock's elves.
The awakening with its commotion
always turns on the daylight
is a thief disguised with sunbeams.
The awakening, Captain of the day
fills my bed with commotion
is a thief disguised with sunbeams.
He always prefers to arrive during the day
the awakening with its commotion
is a thief disguised with sunbeams.
