A peaceful beach

A peaceful beach


Seeking a sign from my past,

 in the streets and corners

of this old my arduous and difficult

 journey through life.
Life at the same time full and empty,

 and falls between smiles,

a boundless hope gradually

 turned into disillusionment.
The unbreakable dream damped

until it disappears in the smoke

of a bitter and painful existence.
A broken wing,

 a universe unreachable,

and between my verses lost time.
Continuing until you can only see a quiet beach,

although made ​​of stones that I carry ...
