From Paradise

From Paradise

I do write this
from above
in the trees
where the green
and the light
protect
between its branches
the legendary treasure
of El Dorado

I do write this
under the river
where gravity and current
flow free
to Lake Parima
where the ghost of
Sir Walter Raleigh
bathes in gold between
the reeds and the herons

I do write this
above and between the clouds
where the wind is anonymous
Savoring the colors
that drip from the rainbow
to sweeten the marimbas
and the castanets
that become a river
when it rains in the mountains
I do write this to the sky
and to the earthly paradise
that come together
far away
on the horizon
