Analysis of Caminho Errante

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



Faço de teus olhos, momento eterno
busco em teu sorriso, o paraíso infante
Brusco em tua base, caminho errante
que me leva de porta em porta: Perto.

Declaro a última sentença radiante
recolho-me ao desconforto do inverno
Retiro-me à flor de lótus, incerto
ao caminho do meio, longe, distante.

Esqueço-me de meu passado e sigo!
Esqueço-me de teu futuro e lembro...
Esqueço-me de meu presente e fico

na memória dos que vieram, há tempo
na história dos que virão, versifico
na campanha dos vencidos. Me rendo!
