Comissão

She was beautiful as southern skies
The night he met her
She was married to someone
He was doggedly determined that he would get her
He was old, he was young
From time to time he'd tip his heart
But each time she withdrew
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
Sure enough they have a son
And though they both were occupied
With the child she carried
Disagreements had begun
And in a while they fell apart
It wasn't hard to do
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Two disappointed believers
Two people playing the game
Negotiations and love songs
Are often mistaken for one and the same
Now the man and the woman
Remain in contact
Let us say it's for the child
With disagreements about the meaning
Of a marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild
But from time to time
He makes her laugh
She cooks a meal or two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts
And our brains

Muros de ontem, muros de hoje!

Festeja-se o aniversário da Queda do Muro de Berlim!



E por que é que nos esquecemos dos muros que existem hoje - dia 9 de Novembro de 2009?

Raramente se ouve falar desses. A globalização não chega a estes muros!


Festejamos a mudança, a união de duas metades de um povo ...


Acho que não deviamos estar a festejar o passado, mas fazer algo para que se pudesse festejar o próprio presente!

Umas poucas horas na Invicta

E assim foi um final de tarde, noite e madrugada no Porto

Pesquisar no passado e encontrar o presente

José Gomes Ferreira, mais uma vez.


"Aqui, nesta praia amarela,

ainda fúria acesa

do sol da criação,

no princípio do mundo

um homem surgiu nela

- espanto vagabundo

sem pátria e sem inferno,

feliz na sem-razão -

e olhou para o mar

surpreendido

de ver o céu caído

e mais natureza

a nascer-lhe no olhar.


Hoje, nesta praia do sul

ao pé dum velho Forte,

quando a luz outoniça

e parda do poente

voa no céu azul

todo o mistério dos fossos

- um poeta altivo e mudo,

com pátria,

com inferno,

com morte

e, principalmente,

com esta dor da justiça,

olha com espanto para tudo:

caos de lágrimas e ossos,

cóleras de Primavera,

raivas de mar profundo...


E os homens de novo à espera

do princípio do mundo."


(Heróicas XXXIX , Poesia I)




Eu sei de uma praia amarela, onde há um forte e onde a vida e a morte se cruzam. É também nessa praia que procuro todos os dias um princípio de algo, talvez seja apenas o princípio dos dias. Mas penso no princípio de uma nova vida dispersa, um pouco por cada peixe, por cada conquilha, por todo o mar. Procuro em cada cor de cada manhã, dia após dia.

Só me falta ser "feliz na sem-razão". E como gostava!
