Sunday morning

On just a Sunday morning
I looked at my past
And saw the mistakes I made

I probably had a reason for it
Disappointment, maybe
But it was necessary

To get where I am now
On this tranquil Sunday morning
I am not from the past

But live today    
And that is in my case
Special enough

On A Sufi Myth

                      Khidr  

                     Green

                  My friend

          I too am disorderly

Nothing am I, of all not a thing.

On the border of Providence - En la Frontera de la Providencia

A Tabby on the garden wall

In the evening light

She looks at me

And I at her

What eyes, she is magnificent

And I turn the corner

Tobalaba Avenue

It's night in Santiago de Chile

=

Una atigrada en el muro del jardín

En la luz del atardecer

Ella a mi me parece

Y yo a ella

Qué ojos, ella es hermosa

Y yo, a la vuelta de la esquina

Avenida Tobalaba

Es la noche en Santiago de Chile

A white sail

Oy, and when God already  

Has forgiven me all my sins
What would I be afraid of

Come sail along

Trust the wind
Which is controlled by him

Or drink the wine
That once was water
And now adorns the wedding guests

Walk the waves
Follow that man in his steps
And clamber on board of the miracle

First there was Truth

Then came Faith
And together they created Love

And sometimes

Sometimes you are all

Sometimes you are jewish

Sometimes you are muslim

Sometimes you are christian

Sometimes you are all of that

Sometimes you are fully whole

Sometimes you are nothing at all

And at times you are a true child of God

Only later

One second

One small delay


Think

Before you speak

What is evil

....

And you've beaten him

....

Mene mene tekel upharsin

For so long

You seek the sweet
Like a little bear
Yearning for honey

But sometimes as a child

You received more less than more
Love only if you behave
Is not what I read in the Book of Books

Rebellion
Not against my Father
For through Him this evolution
Other than thought the right of my infirmity

Orphaned you are
In other resorts than the circle
The dream come true a letdown
Light or too light 1).

1). Found or weighed 

Yet a future (generation)

I have heard the new generation sing

And so I hope

That the world that runs so fast backwards

May yet make some progress

Then rise, awake, live

And let yourself be felled or beaten

Thus, mankind that d-evolves 

Has grown a little still

Young people who love

Too willing to die

But happily too to pass on 

Their boundless vitality

Like that, I have always pictured our child

A smile so near

To the lips, in the spirited eyes  

While our joined hearts would break

When watching those first uncertain steps....
