Sun
emotional appeal to my daily
wit
diaphanous clarity that
slowly gets away by nightfall
and leaves the mystery of life
so intense and present
that I stay static
astonished by my compelling
shadow
of light.
Sol
emoção que me concentra a atenção
do dia
diáfana claridade que
ao fim da tarde lentamente foge
e deixa o mistério da vida
tão presente e intenso
que fico estático
perplexo em minha envolvente
sombra
de luz.
