To dream the impossible dream is possible to humans, as Cervantes’s Don Quixote de la Mancha has demonstrated. A source of amusement to the people in his fictive world, Don Quixote though has illustrated how noble it is to stand and be counted among the sector of humanity who can breed ideals despite the notion that they may just be clowns…

Do you think there’s time
To tug at the winds left of lost angels
And make them return?
What would be their faces?
Their wings?
2
I could see for myself the embers
That died in their eyes when they left me
Undecided
3
The rain beats, and the lands
Stretch longer than the definitions
I have of going
Life should be easy under their direction
But of what use is my heart
4
I have this share of beautiful tomorrows
Since the beginning of impossible dreams
Before the world began
Mi Dulce Corazon,
There were a lot of you’s and I’s far back
That side of earth we chose leaving
Whatever the reasons, the path’s the same
Breathed out of our deep devotions
5
But sometimes, you know, it’s not much of a heaven
To wake up finding in your lucid moments
You did not find anything
Who would suspect I almost caught a star
And it could have lighted meanings
It chose to melt before reaching this planet
My hands caught air
6
But there are songs in the air that so oftentimes
When my shoes stop, they shop for silence
Not even the songs have the heart enough to ask
Why I’m still here
7
It is lonely enough when you think of distance
But don’t we live there…
We know how far still is that path end called
Being home again
8
So why must the day die before we take time out
To stop these knights
But I guess without these knights
How will we ever find
What it is we’re after… Abante!
