DANIEL GONÇALVES - (in order to fly you must open the window)

in order to fly you must open the window. don’t jump. there is not a street in the world big enough for your tied wings. sing thy name. pretend some madness like the sea pretends to be bigger than us. lure the leaves that orchestrate in the air. bring them inside the house. promise them a tree in return. keep singing your madness. soon soon the birds will acknowledge your light. they will want to be reborn with you. you are no longer a cliff at the edge of the window. you’re an enchanted forest

Daniel Gonçalves, A tua luz costurou-me uma bainha no coração, página 25
