I never looked back to the past

I walked to tomorrow

Covered with clouds and light rain

Listen to the rhythm of life

As if I was born at dawn

And I did not ask about those who shared

My stray dream about those who flocked

In the pulse of my wounded song

Those who followed the rhyme of the anthem

And they woke up a slender flute

in the folds of the soul

««

I never looked back to the past

I walked to tomorrow

Advance step by step

In the paths of the dream a child is hurting me

I step and proceed with a smile

to the light in his eyes

Clinging to the wing of a song I soar

Behind questions overlooking the absence

I chose

of the flock of metallic faces

To stare into space

And to hasten to reside outside me

So that I can see my shadow there

clear at sunset

««

I never looked back to the past

I walked to tomorrow

From a first cry

Like the shoes of those who passed by

From the ancestors of my language I was born

I was born from the womb of the deserts

Thirsty to dew

I took the shawl of the wind in its wanderings

And I drank from a waving thirst

On the cheers of range

But I never bowed

Nice cloud crossed

The wasteland of the soul and the distant yesterday

««

I am the heir of wandering and memory

Residing in my free absence

Trapped in a snare

I am the keeper of dreams from tomorrow

I will fulfill my first desire last

I take sides in Lilly

To the dusk of the wilderness

Residency captivates me

in echoes

understated

from carrying the burdens of existence

Nothing matters to me

To touch in my imagination his spectrum

A ghost showed me

Whenever I talk to my face

In the mirrors of my loneliness at the watch
