" Questions are essential
In a history inundated with mysteries.
The light of truth is blinding,
And though some know to shield their eyes,
Others look, vulnerable,
And lose their ground.
It is curious,
Why search for the absolute
When faith is more hospitable?
Darkness is pleasing, it soothes.
That way all can rest easy.
Felicita?
(Translated into Italian]
Allison D 'Achille
Le domande sono essenziali
Nella storia inondata con misteri.
La luce della verita ti cieca,
Eppure qualcuno copre gli occhi,
Altri guardano, volnerabilmente,
E perdono l'equilibrio.
E curioso,
Perche cercare l' assoluto
Quando la fedelta e piu ospitabile?
L' oscuro epiacente, erilassante.
Cosi tutti riposano facilmente.
