O Apogeu do Olimpo

Renato Sakate 1978 (Botucatu)



As Flores, riachos e cachoeiras límpidas
são traços e lembranças do outro mundo
Aquele onde nos sentimos imundos,
Naquele que nos salva e nos faz limpos.

A música sem pautas é profunda
o aroma daquele é breve, é leve, é íntimo...
A vista, tal qual o apogeu do Olimpo,
do antigo e do novo, do nada é oriundo.

Lá as almas são cintilantes e ternas,
são faróis de plenitude, distintos
os guardiões da única e pura Lanterna.

E cá estou onde os servos foram extintos,
onde a santidade provém das guerras
onde a luz vem dos sangrentos instintos...
