Often looking at the sky, we wonder which of
those little dots illuminate our home. When the sun is shining, we
seem to be so close to reach out and hold out our destination. Time
and the journey along countless generations have forged our spirit.
Little Pawn
If you’re so lucky enough to have with
you
a small pawn so complicated, strong and
affectionate
with the soul close to her eyes,
she will touch your heart to bring you
where you can’t even imagine.
She’s a lonely swallow coming to us
to the arrival of spring
after a long journey in darkness and
solitude
from which only the purest souls
manage to survive.
She belongs to another world
where the color of her smile
mingles with the last tear of the night.
Only the moonlight can aim to illuminate
her
digging deep to discover her light.
A little pawn in a complicated world,
in a ruthless strategy to see her cry,
because paradise belongs to others—
to those in strength and determination
and doesn’t care about a tender smile.
You can sacrifice her to show your power
but don’t turn her soul because, if you
try,
no matter how great you are,
she’ll rip your heart out to throw it
away
where you can never find it again.
