FROM THE PARALLEL TO THE INFINITE

FROM THE PARALLEL TO THE INFINITE

My world was welcoming,

It was a different world;

Where I had more love,

I lived happier.

He knew how to live life,

Intensely and total.

Extroverted joy,

In this my real live.

My world had more color,

Gentle nature;

The sun gave me heat,

My life, simple beauty.

Now in the world I live,

I feel the air is lethal;

From the modern to the old,

Everything is artificial.

Different world parallels,

What I live, what I lived;

In one I lived contented,

In this other lack joy.
