CANTIGA DE FOLHAS E AGULHAS - The Chapters Poem by Pablo C. Ursusson
1. Birth. Initiation. The miracle of the Birch. ( 00:00 )
Oh white being of rebirth,
source of life and nurture,
show me the entrance into this journey.
My body receives the light,
the birdsongs clearer than ever in my ears.
2. Youth. Energy. The fire of the Ash. ( 4:00 )
Ash, stoic column of the forest,
that climbs boldly over the canopy,
let me be wild,
let me jump over the borders of my own endurance,
for that very sight will provide the calm I seek.
3. Depression. Into the dark. The journey through the Spruce forest. ( 6:40 )
Through somber paths I roam without destination,
my own darkness has taken over my perception.
Nobody understands.
Nobody wants to understand.
Alone.
Pain is poignant and pierces through my chest.
Oh if I only could find love.
4. Calm. Experience. The embrace of the Beech. ( 10:25 )
Resting at last, my sight is fuller,
achievements are more rewarding.
The hard work of the past sprouts all around.
The time to harvest is here.
Understanding the treasures of life is the most beautiful gift one can have,
no time to lose in loving our close ones.
5. The dance of Death. Acceptance. To walk the path of the Yew. ( 12:40 )
I dance towards you, oh Yew,
embrace my spirit with your branches, pierce me with your needles.
Guide me with your shadows to the side of my lost ones.
Adeus, adeus. I am ready.
