The great vulcan above me,
that endless colors of the wind &
thousand sentiments of the sky
he who has endured,
i stopped by to ask:
"tell me what is that you seek
in this wide turquoise sky?Stars?"
and this he replied:"Freedom"
The mighty mouse beside me,
that endless faces of the time &
thousand ages of the rocks
he who has witnessed,
i stopped by to ask:
"tell me what is that you seek
in these cold gray mountains?Treasures?"
and this he replied:"A Home"
The gentle whale beneath me,
that endless murkiness of the life &
thousand solitude of the ocean
he who has journeyed,
i stopped by to ask:
"tell me what is that you seek
in these deep blue waters?"
and this he replied:"A Family"
And so i left at last,
veering off that same old road,
away from the crossroads,
deep into the woods
in pursuit of the three!
