Two poems, two eras. What has changed<\/a> in fifty years? Very little indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paths<\/h4>\n

(1969)<\/p>\n

\n1
\nThe dew of the dawn
\nSparkles in the sun
\nAlong the steep slopes
\nNear the frozen springs
\nTowards the golden mountains
\nDripping honeydrops
\nIn such solitude
\nNothing cheers you up<\/p>\n

Who held you
\nHowever
\nThe ascending path
\nMists up in the clouds<\/p>\n

\n2
\nAfter the freezing heights
\nThe cold of the tall peaks
\nOn earth and ashes
\nThe hard part is over
\nHeat haze from the ground
\nStuck you to the hill
\nJust let you go down, now
\nJust let you slide<\/p>\n

Fear has come again<\/a>
\nHow ?
\nThe path stretches on
\nUp to the unknown plain<\/p>\n

\n3
\nSince so many weeks
\nMaybe so many years
\nFrom mountain to mountain
\nFrom hill to valley
\nA sad wind blows you out
\nAnd send you for a walk
\nSeason after season
\nYou have to go on<\/p>\n

There is no one yet
\nHere
\nOn the hardened path
\nJust your ringing step<\/p>\n

\n4
\nEvergreen is the earth
\nOverfool is the way
\nCrying with willow-trees
\nGoing through the fumes
\nThe plain is wide open now
\nThe wind’s everywhere you go
\nFunny thing’s crossing your mind
\nThe plain is closed behind<\/p>\n

Life goes on and on
\nSweet
\nThe path is waiting for
\nThe weight of your bare feet<\/a><\/p>\n

High solitude<\/h4>\n

(2019)<\/p>\n

On the trails of high solitude<\/a>
\nOn the paths alongside the infinite
\nOn the slopes of great uncertainty
\nDon’t you know that the storm is over?<\/p>\n

You have not lacked hunger or food
\nYou won or lost nothing at all
\nYou chose neither faith nor inconstancy<\/a>
\nOn your journey far from everywhere<\/p>\n

Handsome knight of tales and legends<\/a>
\nValiant fighter faithful companion
\nFrom the bottom of the sea<\/a> to the peaks of the Andes<\/a>
\nWhile we both lose we win<\/p>\n

On the future swear to remain worthy
\nOf donations gotten and lessons given
\nFuture time<\/a> is read between the lines
\nWe will be prophets and damned<\/p>\n

Who keeps us from breaking the shackles
\nTo overthrow the throne of tyrants?
\nWho keeps us from behaving bravely
\nCaressing a sexy face?<\/p>\n

We were naked companions in misery
\nWe had nothing but dawn at our knees
\nWarriors from the ends of the earth
\nWe have it all\u00a0 :\u00a0 Heaven is with us<\/p>\n
