Olhos d’água

Mário Márcio de Quadros

À memória de meus pais, falecidos em 1972.

      Amanhece...

                                                             Com vagar divago pela várzea.

                                                        O vento me toca leve e, breve, passa...



                                                                          Amanhece...


                                                                       Azul é o céu.

                                                   E verde: o olhar, os campos, a floração.


                                                                       Amanhece...


                                                              Diversas aves canoras

                                                                   d i s p e r s a s

                                                                      Cantam...


                                                                      No vau:

                                                              Mulheres fuxicam,

                                                 Esfregam, batem, e torcem roupas.


                                                                 Amanhece...

                                        Beija-flores, canários, sabiás... Enamoram-se,

                                              E anunciam, e encantam o raiar do dia.


                                                                   No vale

                                                              Homens ledos

                                                    Lepidamente lavram a terra:

                                                   E cavam, e cuidam, e plantam...



                                                              Amanhece...


                                                         A clareza do dia

                                                   Alumia e enleia a várzea.

                                                       A brisa me alisa

                                                      Espairece e arde:



                                                         S a u d a d e...
