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!
