Flying with you

The flight is in the light,
lifting the limbs from the ground
as in a dance jumping
and continuing elegance.

Here the effort does not count,
but persistence to rise.
Thus the essence is reached,
the secret of flying:
eagle, seagull, hummingbirds ...

Then there's your name,
that makes me sailing
in the night of a room
with the covers for wings
and the pillow on the heart.

Umberto F. M. Cefalà

This blog was created in 2012 with the first works and phrases romantic inspired by classical poetry. Later in the 2013 pointed towards a creative line with the testing of the open source project that is of poems by multiple authors. In 2014 he published My metaphors , a study of the figures of speech with new definitions and ad hoc examples. In the same year, to coincide with the Milanese works for the Universal Exhibition of 2015, led EXPO project concerning the representation of the most famous Italian dishes. In 2015 focused attention on those increasingly popular crafts as the grinder or the cobbler. It was also facing classical and contemporary art with the spread of cultural events of all sorts, but always presented in a poetic. In 2016 he held particularly to highlight developments on environmental protection.
