Elio and the sky smile

Magic under the eye
The morning semi dry abandoned by the moisture
On palm road his niece granted us permission
Jackfruits rock and cassava crowds the weeds

Yet on the road down, the mysterious cold wind touched us impossibly
amidst the tropical heat
and the world was silent
we passed a point

Whatever blessing misunderstood
a man appeared from his house and guided us
Through his farm between the trees
Bananas jutting up accompanied by okra and chilli peppers

Heaven is in the soil
corn and sugar cane soaking up the sun
I half amazed, amused in my tranquil existance
Generous was the land as was Elio
sky for a smile he bid us goodbye
Elio Nascimento tax me these words for your offering
