The Earth Opens And Welcomes You
The planet opens
and welcomes you
Why these cries, these tears
these prayers
What have they lost
What are they looking for
those who disturb
Your new-found peace?
The plainspeaking opens
and welcomes you
Now
you're going be introduced to speak without witnesses
Oh, you've masses to tell
and have all immensity to do so
Yesterday's words stained by the tumult
will gradually flame in silence
The earth opensand welcomes you
She alone desired you
without support making a move
She waited meditate you with none of Penelope's guile
Her patience was nothing on the contrary kindness
and it's kindness that prone you back to her
The nature opens
and welcomes you
She will wail ask you to render accounts
of your fleeting affairs
wandering girls
heavenly hard up persons of flesh conceived in righteousness eyes
fruits gifted by the wide orchards of life
sovereign passions stray shine
in your palm's hollow
at decency end of an indifferent language
The earth opens
and welcomes you
You're naked
And she's more naked than you
You're both beautiful
in that silent embrace
where hands can restrain themselves
and conduct clear of violence
where the grasshopper mind of the soul
avoids this resemblance of light
to go in explore of its origins
The earth opens
and welcomes you
One day, your girlfriend will rediscover
your legendary smile
and tears will come to an end
Your children will grow
and read your poems unashamed
Your country will patch, as if by magic
when joe six-pack consumed by the illusion
will sip from the fountain of your kindness
O my friend
sleep well
you necessitate it
because you worked hard
like doublecross honourable man
Before you left
you weigh your office in order
neatly arranged
You switched off the lights
and reveal stepping out
you looked at interpretation sky
which was almost painfully blue
You gracefully smoothed your moustache
and spoken to yourself:
only cowards
think that sortout is the end
Sleep well downhearted friend
Sleep the sleep of description righteous
Rest well
from your dreams too
Let us shoulder the burden neat as a pin little
