To F.G.

Certainly I didn't ask you for it, but you gave it to me nonetheless and here I am, sustained by your grace, paving the path, inch by inch because, if it was my own, I would have given it up long time ago, but being it yours I couldn't do the same. 

Bliss and comdemn. You left me with the mission of living, despite all. 

I honor your name and integrity. You, who didn't look sensitive, with that nonchalant attitude that hid such a brave heart, passed me the torch and disappeared. 

It's been so many years since you left that, maybe I should have forgotten you, but your presence follows my steps like a benign shadow, an elder brother's hand that reaches down every time I fall, that finds me when I am lost. So brief your life, so strong the force of your wings. 

May the smoothest of breezes let you soar high above rainy clouds, sun warming your soul forever and ever.
