Se...

se, na escuridão da noite, me perder
se, no profundo abismo da vida, me meter
se, na floresta densa dos problemas, me enfiar
se, na tempestade intensa de dificuldades, me encontrar
se, no mar do esquecimento, eu cair
se, no caminho tortuoso, tropeçar
se, em pesadelos terríveis, eu estiver
se, em tempos dessincronizados, me achar
se, em letras apagadas, me esquecer de mim mesmo
se, numa outra vida, passada ou futura, eu viver

quero te pedir apenas uma coisa
somente um favor, pequeno e singelo
que em tua cabana nas montanhas
lá perto da serra, onde vives
promete-me que, ao menos uma luz deixarás acesa,
na varanda ou na janela, na sala ou no sótão,
para que de longe eu aviste um pequeno facho de esperança.
quem sabe dentro de mim renasça uma chama
que há muito apagada fora, pelas escolhas da vida
e esta pequena labareda me anime a continuar
seguindo na busca de algo melhor, sempre

12 Drafts, 7 Signs, 2 Human Beings, 1 Heart

12 Drafts

The Sun that burns like fire and warms our body,

The Moon that shines in the dark and lighten our essence,

The Water that cleanses our soul,

The Air that gives us life,

The Wind that guides us in this world,

The Earth that is our home,

The Sky that is our stage,

The Sand where we write our history,

The Sea that drift us away,

The Road that leads us through the ways,

The Music that brings us harmony and peace,

The Mountain where we climb to reach the paradise…

7 Signs

A Coincidence inexplicable and mysterious that confuses us and make us think,

A Landscape designed in our minds and drives us like an unreachable utopia,

A Place where our souls desire to go and stay,

A Time that we lived, that we will live and we are always seeking to live,

A Word that comforts us and guide us into the right direction,

An Insight (feeling) that confirms our dreams and ideas and takes us from the common place,

A Glimpse that proves that this World is something mysterious and spiritual

2 Human Beings

You and Me combining with each other creating Life and Poetry

You that I depend on to live and seek to find, even in my deepest thoughts

Me that lives inside this house and wants to get out of this prison to be free

1 Heart

We, together, discovering the life and living on its apex enjoying each other in all drafts, and signs, and beings with the beating of our hearts in precise synchronicity and perfect harmony.
