Crucial Life

Crucial Life

by Gil Camporazo

Infirm emotion that leads me to the world of woe,
          To the sea of loneliness and unhappiness,
          To the arena of fiery, arduous rivalry,
          And to the cursing place of Golgotha.

Blessed to the mind; polluted to the eyes;
          The memoirs that had been left
          Like an astronomical grains of sand
          That spread along the splashing seashore
          Were iniquities.

Nature, however, helps --
          Like the whizzing breeze of summer,
          That allures my willing heart
          To pursue my sailing toward the undiscovered world,
          Is gone forevermore.

It is gone to last the barrier of veracity
          That impedes my sailing aim
          To succeed in my trying attempts
          And to be calm in my distressing situation
          That echoes to my state of pensiveness.

Like the beaming moon of October
          That alludes me in times of query,
          That annoys me in times of solitude,
          That intoxicates me in soberness,
          Is now leading me to a righteous path of eternity.
