Rio

River that lives in the sea
I smile at my River
that has in its sea
beautiful flowers that bloom dark
in sunlit gardens
River, velvet mountains
I smile at my River that smiles at everything
that’s golden almost every day
and bright like the light

River is the sea
forever making me love
my River is the moon
white and bare friend

It’s sun, it’s salt, it’s south
hands discovering themselves
in so much blue
that’s why my River
of womanly beauty
can wipe away in an instant
any sadness
my River that never sleeps
because it never tires
my River that sways
I smile, just River, just River...
