GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 2 © 2008

I would like to smile in everything, to be a wizard in beauty,

And not a mourning soul, trapped in sadness,

Casting ashes into the lake, in deep silence,

Like fertiliser, in the fishing of this world.

I know that if it takes effect, it is a sign of hope,

That life still yearns for me, even in change,

In a different way, perhaps less visible,

But the important thing is to be useful, to be indelible.

In the final farewell to the idea, which I embraced so much,

May my existence, even in farewell, have what I left behind,

Be it seed or shadow, in some distant place,

That I still be a part, even if less radiant.
