The Dream of the Horse

By Joseph Cobano

The Dream of the Horse

Im surrounded by my fence
Im moving forwards and backwards,
I cant get out.

A boy is walking,
He observes me, stops, gets close,
Talks, says hello,
Nevertheless, I know hes afflicted with something.
His heart is living in a fence as well.

Im standing there, listening to
The boys friendly words;
He feeds me with pasture
Through the fence,
Nevertheless, Im tasting love.

I know he wants to release me,
He himself feels the same way
But he has to go.
He waves.

Alone again,
Inside this fence,
Mankinds whim.
I want to get out.
I dont envy him.

What is the worst thing?
Looking and wishing freedom
From inside a fence,
Or having a fenced freedom?

Songs from the  

Youth

SZvcdvsd.jpg

A song for the free

Leave all your days behind,

Leave all you wear outside,

For in here it´s warm

And I must hum you a song.

My child, there is no room

For any word to say,

Only your skin and my tool

Will be enough to pray.

Since it´s going to be hard and red

When you reach out for me,

I’ll be ready, I’ll make your day,

The ritual is a song for the free.

Hold the future back

If you try to reign

Over your kingdom

Don´t go too fast,

Because one slip is enough

To hold you back,

And you don´t want

To spend years waiting

For the new rising sun.

You can´t hold the future back,

only wait for the right time.

About the world

I´ve been searching for answers,

I´ve been searching for clues,

I´ve been thirsty in the desert,

I´ve been lost in the woods,

I tried to do my ways but they were wrong,

I started to tremble and think about the world.

I used to have peace of mind

When my dreams were a clash,

Now my peace is full of fears

And I fear my dreams won´t last,

I tried to do my ways but they were wrong,

I started to tremble and think about the world.

Japan

Maybe my fate lies were the sun is born

So I can seal the future in advance

And foretell Time itself,

That way I will lead an ascetic life

To fill up everything we leave behind

When we see the star passing by,

If we travel with it we will be like fire

And will be born from the sea,

And will never die

As we do everyday,
