O land

O land,

do you remember me?

Do you remember my absence,

non-existence,

and dispossession?

Because if you do,

I ask you to forget it all,

for I have come back,

at last.

O land,

All the roads that lead to you

are roads of sunshine,

paths that lead to your

luminous grandeur.

Those who do not see you,

or are not able to feel your presence,

do not know the darkness

in which they

live- submerged in.

O land,

you

have bewitched me,

body and soul,

for there is no one-

who loves you more ardently

than I do.

O land,

see me running towards you

after our bitter separation.

See my lungs rise as they finally welcome

your air.

See my heart skip a beat

as I come closer.

See my pupils dilate as they

fall upon

your gracious land.

O land,

O land,

I have come back,

I have come back,

I have come back,

finally,

to you.
