      At the Other Side of the Ocean - Julie Pujol-Karel

      author:

      At the Other Side of the Ocean

      At the other side of the ocean

      What is there?

      Greenery, freshness, peace,

      A road without impediments to walk by,

      A hope of light that allows you to embrace

      The most beautiful dreams you dare to have.

      At the other side of the ocean

      What is there?

      Sadness, uncertainties, necessities,

      They are deprived of the most elemental things,

      Food, medication, hope, and liberty.

      At the other side of the ocean

      A wide ocean separates us.

      It holds the secrets of lives that never made it.

      Their dreams drowned and died in search of liberty.

      Oh! My raft brothers…

      I feel so sad!

      So many lives have been lost,

      They could never arrive,

      To the free land,

      To the other side of the ocean

      To the sea shores.

      Bello (Beautiful)

      Bello! Infinitely Bello –

      As a calmed, green ocean.

      Brave, as the tempestuous ocean itself.

      Bello! He offered gallantries with every awakening,

      encouraging, sharing his love, and his wisdom

      with others in his path.

      He always saved the tenderness of a kiss,

      and a warm embrace for his gal.

      I remember many instances of our life -

      But one occasion had come alive.

      An evening we spent at Julian,

      seated on a mountain peak, the sky,

      a veil of shining stars for scenery.

      The stars seemed so close that I felt I could leap to touch

      them.

      The evening was cool although it was summer time.

      He covered my shoulders with a shawl,

      it was not enough,

      then he covered my body with his to keep me warm.

      Bello! Infinitely Bello –

      As a flowering garden on springtime.

      But the road that he traveled had a set of double doors at the

      end.

      Curiously enough, he entered alone one day,

      because alone we are born.

      He never returned!

      Now his body is laid to rest covered by snow each winter,

      waiting for resurrection day far away from me.

      Time! It is your best friend and your worst enemy as well –

      It passes by merciless, leaving a flavor of bittersweet

      memories.

      OH! Silly me, again I was taking a ride through my memories,

      remembering things of my past.

      While doing so, I discovered that I own a treasure,

      a chest filled with priceless memories.

      You know? The chest is not for
