137 - Waters flowing up





Waters flowing down
looking for the promised sea

arriving
to their ría delighted
they blend together


sweet and salty
bitter and sharp

they are told by…

black trees up there
fire and hell
smoke and blackness

and black below
desolation and death
tied with faint threads
of abject poverty full

faint?
never, they say
more, they say
we shout

now…

still astonished
dropping joy tears
they go back to their origins
upstream

they have to tell them

about the beauty of their ría
to the reflected clouds
to the trees in the riverside

and to the ones who have all senses


*
Dedicada al hombre que paseaba por el Lérez
“es bueno regresar a los orígenes”

  1. Maybe Smetana made this music for your post :)... I wish no more black for our waters, no more nightmares for them and for us. Muac!
