Άκου τα σήμαντρα
των εξοχικών εκκλησιών.
Φτάνουν από πολύ μακριά
από πολύ βαθιά.
Απ’ τα χείλη των παιδιών
απ’ την άγνοια των χελιδονιών
απ’ τις άσπρες αυλές της Κυριακής
απ’ τ’ αγιοκλήματα και τους περιστεριώνες
των ταπεινών σπιτιών.

Άκου τα σήμαντρα
των εαρινών εκκλησιών.
Είναι οι εκκλησίες
που δε γνώρισαν τη σταύρωση
και την ανάσταση.


Γνώρισαν μόνο τις εικόνες
του Δωδεκαετούς
που ‘χε μια μάνα τρυφερή
που τον περίμενε τα βράδια στο κατώφλι
έναν πατέρα ειρηνικό που ευώδιαζε χωράφι
που ‘χε στα μάτια του το μήνυμα
της επερχόμενης Μαγδαληνής.

Χριστέ μου
τι θα ‘τανε η πορεία σου
δίχως τη σμύρνα και το νάρδο
στα σκονισμένα πόδια σου;

ΝΑ ΕΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ

ΕΝΑ ΤΑΞΙΔΙ
ΕΝΑΣ ΑΓΓΕΛΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ
ΣΕ ΕΙΧΑ ΟΝΕΙΡΕΥΤΕΙ
ΠΡΩΤΟΥ ΝΑ ΣΕ ΓΝΩΡΙΣΩ
ΕΠΡΕΠΕ ΝΑ ΡΘΕΙ Η ΚΑΤΑΛΗΛΛΗ ΣΤΙΓΜΗ
ΚΑΙ ΝΑ ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΙΣΤΕΙ 
ΓΙΑ ΝΑ Σ'ΑΝΑΓΝΩΡΙΣΩ

ΚΙ ΟΤΑΝ ΜΕ ΦΙΛΗΣΕΣ
ΕΝΙΩΣΑ ΣΑΝ ΩΣ ΤΩΡΑ ΝΑ ΜΗΝ ΕΙΧΑ ΦΙΛΗΘΕΙ
ΚΙ ΟΤΑΝ ΜΕ ΑΓΓΙΞΕΣ
ΕΝΙΩΣΑ ΤΙ ΘΑ ΠΕΙ
ΝΑ ΕΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ
ΝΑ ΕΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ

ΠΕΡΑΣΑΝ ΧΡΟΝΙΑ 
ΜΑ ΗΤΑΝ ΜΟΝΟ ΜΙΑ ΣΤΙΓΜΗ
ΓΙΑΤΙ Η ΚΑΡΔΙΑ ΤΟ ΑΠΕΙΡΟ
ΜΠΟΡΕΙ ΝΑ ΤΟ ΒΙΩΣΕΙ
ΠΟΛΛΑ ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΑ ΚΑΙ ΚΟΛΑΣΗ ΜΑΖΙ
ΜΕΧΡΙ Ν'ΑΞΙΩΘΕΙ
Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΜΑΣ ΝΑ ΕΝΩΣΕΙ

ΔΥΟ ΚΟΜΜΑΤΙΑ ΜΙΑΣ ΨΥΧΗΣ
ΠΟΥ ΚΑΤΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΦΛΟΓΑ 
ΕΧΟΥΝ ΣΦΥΡΗΛΑΤΗΘΕΙ
ΚΙ ΟΤΑΝ ΣΜΙΓΟΥΝΕ ΞΑΝΑ
ΓΙΝΟΝΤΑΙ ΟΧΗΜΑΤΑ
ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ
ΝΑ ΕΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ

ΝΑ ΕΡΘΕΙ Ο ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟΣ ΣΤΗ ΓΗ
