Contemplating the sky and clouds
Through a myriad of branches,
Like hair tousled by a soft breeze,
Allows joyful dreams to take shape.
Tousled Hair


Health and wealth were dancing gaily together
Like lovers, inseparable forever.
Seasons were rhythmed by the songs of sparrows.
Cupido was loosing perfumed arrows.
Dreams were so close that the hand could almost
touch them. Life seemed to be at its utmost.
All was nice: ideas for a bright future,
Nothing against the idyllic adventure.
But wicked Juno is never asleep.
With her poisoned arrows with loss or flu,
She delights in triumph when humans weep.
In a fury, Cape Horn winds broke the forecastle.
Escape is vain. No way, but fall into
the chasm, cold, bitter, and deep, deep, deep.
Fury


The harbinger of Apollo
Always flies at the right moment
To whisper to keep faith
In the coming bright days.
He knows the impetuous god
Whose wrath does not last
And whose warm generosity
Always wins to bless
The destiny of tender hearts.
