Looking Up. (July 15,1999 / Barinas)
A Poem's Essence
Written in black letters, imprinted in ink and paper,
Scripted by the swift movement of hand impulsed by feather,
There lies an essence of the soul playing the role of savior.
Pure light shining in the bright sun, damaging darkness as it passes,
Twisting reality, making it fun, into our hearts it crashes.
It's a white light, a voice from our lungs, separating life in flashes,
It's our mark, the thing into we clung, the thoughts that clashes.
Under the the murdering of trees, lies a white Heaven dressed in gold,
Something that from our heart never flees, turns hot the cold.
It's the way to express our tears, always in our heart's pressence,
It's our joys and cheers, a poem's essence.

Are you happy?
Keep your luck.
Are you lost?
Keep looking up.
