Luigi Antonio Funaro

Toto', dove sarai mai tu a quest'ora?
Dov'e' che vaga la tua vaga ombra
nell'arco del tuo mese sepolcrale?
In quali acque si rispecchia ormai
quel tuo animato e candido sorriso?

Ti cerco e ti ascolto nel lieve ricordo di tempi e luoghi lontani,
quasi infiniti, di una fanciullezza vissuta nel ruvido verdore di campestri stagioni meridionali.

E il tuo sguardo si illumina di celeste. E l'aurora risplende fulgida
nei tuoi occhi stanchi.
E come nell'ultimo nostro abbraccio
scorgo in questi occhi tuoi la tela
di un presepe con sullo sfondo
l'antico convento. Sei sereno, Toto', sei contento.

Toto', la tua voce non e' scarsa di onde. Exsultent ossa.

Ti ho visto soffrire con coraggio e pacata dolcezza lo strazio del corpo.
Ma il male non ha penetrato il tuo essere, non ha intorbidato le limpide acque del tuo animo, del tuo spirito indomito.

Ed ora, nel rinfrescarti mani e volto,
ungendo le chiglie arrugginite dalla morte, tu vivi ancor, Toto', e sei piu' forte.
Ma oggi tutto e' grigio, cugin caro,
tutto e' grigio per noi su questa riva.

He will be greatly missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. May you all take comfort in the fact that he is no longer suffering, hard as it is to let go of a loving partner and father.
