SWEET ARIADNE
Christmas Eve 1995!
I am going to Chile,
my sweet Ariadne,
but my heart
and my great love
remain with you.
Sweet Ariadne,
you are my universe.
And though I leave you for a distant land,
I leave you my verses,
tender songs to soothe your soul.
Sweet Ariadne,
you are my dawn,
you are my day,
you are my dusk,
you are my night.
Sweet Ariadne,
starry night
full of planets,
you are a sunny day
full of life.
Sweet Ariadne,
you are simply
my flowered path,
you are my life,
you are my flower.
