Eternal Presence This happy desire to embrace you, Since you are so far from me, Makes me imagine you everywhere Vision, bringing me happiness and peace. I see you in a dream, I dream of kissing you; I see your shadow, I run after it; I see you naked, oh white lily of art, Coloring my existence as a boy... And with seeing you and dreaming of you, this Generative memory, this magical longing, Gives me the illusion that you have finally arrived; I feel the joy of those who ask and reach And the deceptive strength of, in truth, Having you, far from me, close to me.
