Why Not

... and there I arrive at the crossroads of the winds,
where the mountain meets the ocean,
                                                    and the sun the horizon.
The road is not lengthy after all,
                                         neither unknown.
I do not think in reoccurrence,
because I was not even called up to departure;
but if that occurs,
                    I want to be termed up by name,
not the same as before,
but call me experienced,
and let experience itself name my venture,
and like so,
              firm and absolute,
may I know how to breach in the fields of the unknown,
and peregrinate steps never before explored,
and foresee everything that life has prepared me.
Resound the drums,
                           rhythming my paces,
be silent the exhaustion,
                               let go my legs,
not saying no to everything that is,
but yes,
        to dream with things that never were,
smile,
       and say:
      - Why not ?
