#poem, “Más allá, en la orilla”
Más Allá, en la Orilla Hay hombres que lanzan sus redesen un mar donde el viento traiciona,las mareas cambian,y sus barcas, aunque parecen ir flotando,sin rumbo van navegando,y el fracaso los va agotandoy pierden el camino.

El pensamiento del día – The Thought of the Day

“Que Dios bendiga las almas perdidas ayer en el desastre ferroviario y que paguen sus culpas los que no han hecho nada por mejorar el sistema ferroviario.”

#poem, “Reasons” (An Euro-Ku)
Convince me that a rainbow is not an act of God. Convince me that Love is not His nature and you’ve convinced me that I don’t exist. Reasons can’t disturb my faith. C.2024, Francisco Bravo Cabrera – 24 OCT 2024 – Valencia, Spain
