LAGRIMAS DE SAN LORENZO: (TEARS OF SAINT LORENZO):



The men in the know tell us the usual tale,
Of dust left over from comet´s errant tail,
But as my eyes search the black velvet sky,
I know deep in my soul that the story´s a lie.

Shooting stars, shards of little diamond chips,
Bring a smile to the universe & its sealed lips,
Streaking silver brush strokes of tinseled glitter,
Leaving in its velvet path, magical shining litter.

I know deep down, it´s really St Lorenzo´s tears,
Lagrimitas St Lorenzo sheds, once & every year,
Weeping for his summer´s imminent & sad end,
Bestowing on us autumn, on his starry way he wends.
