Comunión con el Mar

Se siente un despertar impaciente,
Relevación divina en conjunto con el oriente
La marea juega su curso con mi mano
El conjunto yo-mar se sale de lo humano.
 
A lo lejos veo  una vista contemplativa,
De una extraña mujer, muy colorida;
Su sonrisa se despide aún curioseando,
Por una extranjera que acaba de ver con el mar bailando.

La marea juega con mi cuerpo,
Lo lleva, lo conduce sin titubeo,
Yo con el mar bailo y en el fondo veo,
Que vuelve a la vida lo que parecía muerto.


Regresa a la vida aquella aguerrida
Que no tiene miedo a caer, ni a la vida,
Que tiene que recordar la felicidad desmedida,
Que por distracciones efímeras y la rutina parecía perdida.

Retorna de un viaje infinito bailando,
Su corazón se excita tiqui-taqui sonando,
Su cara y su piel de la emoción van temblando,
Por las cosas desconocidas que la vida irá ensamblando.

Once a living river...

There was once a river filled with marvelous life, there was once a river filled with fish salmon and green. That river grew to a great marvelous current, carrying illusions, dreams and thoughts. That life it carried was filled with many verses, seeing what course it would take, seeing to what route it would grew into. Nonetheless, at some point in time, the river became dark and contaminated; the reason is certainly unknown… but it died, and everything in it. It stopped its course, its flow, and dried out. It dried out into dry and dark minerals that would never host life again. It evaporated, and was forgotten… and all the verses died with it...


 

Did that river even exist?
