The Solitary Bird. Poem by Adilson Pinto

If I was totally alone what would I do?
Would my life be more easy?
Would I be more able to manage it?
Yes, yes: if I lived only with myself,
In a small house in a silent place,
Would I develop my creativity more freely?
Would I react to the things of life, In a more bright way?
Would my geniality bloom with more power and perfume?
Yes, yes, yes: let me dream!
If I was totally alone, would I write with more confidence and consciousness?
Would I have a better participation in this world?
Would I achieve everything I still don't have until now?
I wonder, O yes, I wonder:
How it would be to live free as a solitary bird
In a forgotten island, in a forgotten world
Alone as that unique cloud flying in the immensity
Of the immense blue sky? !
