Waking up lost

One morning I woke up lost the First of May of the workers without compass

Spring of anxiety, doubts sprout over dry expanses of missed opportunities

The best years greet from the train near the restaurant car, farewell convoy

Past skies, gray rain clears the clouds of good hopes

They remain:

shadows of alleged talents, feelings of injustice, a bitter taste on the tongue

They remain:

I could have I should have it would go like this

The optimist will say that tomorrow will write itself the resigned does not know see beyond the end

The deluded still sees flowery meadows The disillusioned is already aboard the bulldozer

The truth it is a thread of fine grain exposed to the wind without defenses
