Your love is whirling
in the restless sea of life,
escaping the past—
betrayed and suspended,
like a shattered star
upon the cliffs of silence.
Tempestuous is the breaking,
in the heavy breath of humid stillness,
upon the greening fields,
veiled by the silent tears of dusk.
Oh, Madness—
with the rhythmic dripping of silence,
you became the restless mirror of time,
in the wavering of love
and its abandonment by the side.
In the trembling of dreams,
mute anguish fades,
little by little,
into the closed shadow,
the dwelling of pain.
Alone and taciturn,
melancholy—
in its turmoil—
wanders through the ages,
weaving patient memories
within the soul.
Yet afar,
the sun rises once more
from its golden womb;
through the fresh clarity of the air,
the sky, with its azure embrace,
embroiders the horizon.
Infinite promises of a song
soar in the breath of destiny.
Within the weave of poetry,
a flower unfurls,
its eternal pulsation:
it is fantasy.
