A LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Far away, on the horizon,<\/p>\n

we discover a green color<\/p>\n

of light and hope that peeps out<\/p>\n

flickering and agonizing,<\/p>\n

a firm, persistent spark<\/p>\n

that does not disappear.<\/p>\n

Some distant song<\/p>\n

holds the horizon,<\/p>\n

a promise of other days<\/p>\n

a promise of an embrace.<\/p>\n

The eyes enlarge<\/p>\n

and look for that trace,<\/p>\n

hands caress each other,<\/p>\n

bodies arouse\u2014<\/p>\n

all will be tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Una luz en distancia \/\/ <\/em><\/strong>Lejos, al horizonte \/ divisamos un verde de color esperanza
\nuna luz que se asoma \/ titilante y ag\u00f3nica \/ una pavesa firme, persistente \/ que no desaparece. \/ Alg\u00fan canto lejano \/ mantiene el horizonte \/ promesa de otros d\u00edas \/ promesa de un abrazo. \/ Los ojos se agigantan \/ y buscan esta estela \/ las manos se acarician \/ los cuerpos se despiertan \/ todo ser\u00e1 ma\u00f1ana.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
