THE CONDOR AND THE SPARROW “...Para mi Corazon, basta tu pecho,
Para tu libertad, bastan mis alas…” Pablo Neruda.
(For my heart, your breast is enough,
For your freedom, my wings are…)
If this story of ours was seen
by the gigantic eyes of the Condor,
like a little bird in the wind
he would see our love and honor.
Proportions would never alter
the greatness of the fascination.
The giants would be our helpers
seeing lightness in our relation.
More important than the sizes
is the capacity of these flights.
Wiser are those who levitate
defying fear of love and fate .
So , now it is irrelevant the size
For lovers wings are the prize .

Sergio Brandao, Allston (Ma), October, 11, 2008.
