Saudades, Feeling Souvenirs

Wanderlino Arruda

Of friendship,
of love...
It’s colored enchantment
of living, feeling
souvenirs, reason for appreciation.

Nostalgia is to feel distance,
sweet-sour encounter,
seduction, affection.
Homesickness is to be and not-to be:
a thousand ideas.
Presence in absence.
Yes!
