200 miles to go

Posted by Otto Robba in Prosa on 25. Nov, 2007 | No Comments

E a jornada continua e continuo eu aqui a registrar, neste diário de bordo.

O mar intempestuoso continua tentando virar a embarcação, mas os tripulantes são marinheiros experientes, vão ser necessárias mais que algumas ondinhas para mudar nosso rumo. A leitura das estrelas leva a crer que estamos corretamente indo em direção ao Norte, os homens estão temerosos do canto das sereias, Deus sabe quantos marinheiros já se perderam nas profudenzas com promessas vazias e crenças perdidas.

200 milhas, 200 milhas para chegar, 800 milhas já foram.

O ânimo geral está bastante positivo, tendo em vista nosso recente sucesso ao passar pelo Cabo das Tormentas.

Cordialmente,

Capitão Octavius.

Night March

We don’t know where we are going

But still, we keep on roaming

We left everyone behind

We left all that we had

And yet we don’t find ourselves empty handed

.

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

.

We got tired

We got sore

But we can’t stop

.

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

.

Our shouts echo, in the midnight sky

Our moon is shining, over us

For tonight, our destination is unknown

And so will it be tomorrow and on and on because…

.

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

.

Finally we can breath

Finally we are above the clouds

Bathed in blue light

.

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

We keep on Marching, Marching on we go!

.

And on and on until there are no dreams left

Because then we can be assumed as dead.

How can anybody deny?

Shivering hearts and cold stares

This is not where I belong

I knew something was wrong

Since the day I was told to lie

.

Wronged and scorned

But the world turns

And what once was impossible in their eyes

Becomes improbable

And what once was improbable in their eyes

Becomes reality

.

When nobody can deny,

When nobody can contest,

Then I’ll put my pen to rest

Until I can’t deny

That I must once again put the pen to the test

Glimpse

We were young, we were naive, we simply went along

We simply believed.

But oh, honey honey, the illusions are starting to fade

Words like dead roses

.

And their thorns

Since we were born

Made us torn

.

Some will sit down and cry

Some will lie down and die

.

But oh, honey honey, we catch a glimpse

Among all these clocks

And all doom-sayers

We catch a glimpse

.

Some will sit down and cry

Some will lie down and die

.

Deep in our hearts

The strings still echo

The colors are not pale

The sky can be made blue

The dreams do not have to stale

.

Some will sit down and cry

Some will lie down and die

.

We’ve got to keep on trying

Or we might aswell give up

And keep on dying

Falhas, erros, desvios, transtornos. Há males que vem pra bem, ouso dizer, mas é tão complicado, quando lá no fundo o que sinto é como se eu estivesse caindo num poço sem fundo, a luz cada vez mais distante mas sempre à vista, e, não bastasse, o eco aumenta a angústia.

E mais uma vez comprovo que os instintos de fato tem um quê de místico neles

E mais uma vez comprovo que continuo a cair.

E mais uma vez perco as esperanças e tudo que sinto vontade é de simplesmente me encolher num canto e lá ficar.

A vontade que dá realmente é de sumir da face do mundo, ficando só em silêncio num canto próprio, onde o tempo não passa, onde ninguém perturba, onde nada é nada e tudo é tudo. Um lugar para estar até a cabeça encontrar seu lugar e o coração poder se curar.

Mas o tempo passa.

E as pessoas perturbam.

E nada parece seguir no rumo que tento dar.

Quero mesmo acreditar  que há uma saída.

“At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable”

–Christopher Reeve

    For me, art is all about communication, finding and giving meaning when most would not see. To make people feel from words unspoken, to imagine entire worlds through simple literary passages.

    My dream is to be able to, should I ever be so lucky, create a piece of work that lives far beyond myself.
