Breath of Life 

Far from the ones we love,
Far from who we want,
Very close to what we feel,
Very close to what we suffered.
 
Everything so close...
And at the same time so far away.
Everything so impossible
Life so unreal.
 

We dream... we dream...
And from these dreams we live.
 

Loving as we can
Always feeling what we don't want,
Wanting what we don't want.
And so we suffer... because we live
 

 

While waiting. Rio de Janeiro, August 1989
