MAPPING THE COURSE

Those who didn’t give me Love, didn’t give me anything.
I find myself standing still . . .
I look around and see
My better world unfinished.

So much time lost . . . 
With what nostalgia I remember it and bless it all:
Fields of flowers
And brambles . . .

I was a spring of life. I deliberate. I make order.
I think the future that will come.
And, dazzled, I follow the thought
That shows itself.

Those who didn’t give me love, didn’t give me anything.
Banished,
Banished, I travel on.
And dream myself without a country, without a friend.
Wittingly.

LINHA DE RUMO

LINHA DE RUMO

Quem não me deu Amor, não me deu nada.
Encontro-me parado. . .
Olho em redor e vejo inacabado
O meu mundo melhor.

Tanto tempo perdido . . .
Com que saudade o lembro e o bendigo:
Campos de flores
E silvas . . .

Fonte da vida fui. Medito. Ordeno.
Penso o futuro a haver.
E sigo deslumbrado o pensamento
Que se descobre.

Quem não me deu Amor, não me deu nada.
Desterrado,
Desterrado prossigo.
E sonho-me sem Pátria e sem Amigos,
Adrede.
