There will be more poetry

There will be more poetry
  Because the Truth
Is like a giant wave
  Or a flying horse...

Because ascending over boundaries
  Of time and prison bars,
I can contemplate
  How flowers blooms,

Because far away
  My solitary pain
Can transform itself
  Into a bird, singing a song...

Because I can still remember
  The perfume and color
Of that brief morning
  Of my last good-bye.

Because to keep alive
  More than what God could make
It is important to me
  What you and I can make.

Because as a whisper,
  As a volcano with a voice,
Inspiration within me
  Lifts, grows and burns...

Because without freedom,
  I have something better...
That agitates ideas
  From my soul to my heart
Something that in the struggle
  Of light and Truth
Anoints me as the real Winner

I have what engenders real harmony
I have love!
