Hidden Childhood (de la Niñez Escondida)

Pieces in my mind's landscape,                                     [Trozos en el paisaje de mi mente]
Scenes never thought - passages without end,             [Escenas nunca pensadas, pasajes sin fin,]
Feelings trapped within words:                                    [Sentimientos atrapados dentro de las palabras:]
My senses burst with imagination...                             [Mis sentidos desbordan de imaginación...]

I found Childhood!                                                       [¡Encontré la Niñez!]

Weed-grown yet silky...                                              [Con hierba crecida pero sedosa...]

There was a hole,                                                        [Había un hoyo,]
and a piece of ourselves,                                            [y un trozo de nosotros,]
and a tear,                                                                  [y una lágrima,]
and fear...                                                                   [y miedo...]

And I wept.                                                                 [Y sollocé.]

But, while the misty deep shadows sleep,   [Pero, mientras las profundas sombras brumosas duermen,]

A child weaves the candles -                                     [Un niño teje las velas,]
A child draws the light.                                              [Un niño dibuja la luz.]
