The Little Child
I didn't make it
yesterday
to seize the day
by the hair
I woke myself up
little child in
pain
from the
foolishness of the world
I took it in my
arms so it wouldn't cry
I comforted it
in the twilight
of humanity
I covered it
with a blanket of dreams
I sang to him
about the years of love
who left us
but they will
come back with their own hands
full of
apologies and hope
for an
auspicious tomorrow
I looked at his
eyelids
that they were
asking to imprison
the Morpheus in
his eyes
I let it dream
of future ages
without wars,
machinations and crosses
Don’t Be Afraid
Fear no more!
We have arrived
at the hospitable planet
whom we have
been searching for all lifetime
In his unknown
desert we will now light fires
to warm the
love, the desire for a new life,
the end of our
loneliness,
the expectation
of a new beginning
in the days of
the creation of new worlds,
our destination
which has God's blessing
Fear no more!
The dangers have
passed
Seasons of
cleansing rain are coming
The death that
lurked in our eyes
it is now
nowhere
It will be long
before the time of our departure comes
for other secret
corners of the Universe
Let's warm our
hands together!
Tomorrow we will
have many nice things
to make for
ourselves and for the human race
New Worlds
There is madness
on this planet
where we finally
landed
There is pain,
sorrow, lament
but also hope
and expectation
for new bright
days
Our faith in new
destinations is being questioned
in the day after
tomorrow
There is a
strong sense of responsibility
for the survival
of the human race
At last, we will
separate the myth from logic
with songs of
the paranoiac
with sleepless
nights of searching
the Eternal
Light
We will repel
the eternal darkness
with words of
brotherhood and sympathy
We will push
back the black marks
of our earthly
days,
making colonies,
sparkling worlds
who will touch
with affection
one another
