ilha do amor

not very far in a beautiful place on the island of love
five friends lived and enjoyed together
gorgeous moments in a seductive paradise
Joy; Wealth; Sadness; Love and wisdom

they lived happily while everything;
everything good happened
they never imagined that everything;
all that could end one day
one afternoon by chance a violent tornado
the island began to flood
love, worried; ordered everyone to leave
and stayed watching and suffering the end of his home.
so suddenly the island was already overflowing
stunned and scared love was drowning

the boat of joy passed by;
love shouted for help
save me please, take me with you
_ oh I can't love; I'm so happy that I can't live with myself'

the boat of wealth passed by;
selfish, hungry for goods
_ my boat is so full of gold and silver that there's no room for anyone else'

the boat of sadness passed by
so full of resentment
poor thing was so sad that she didn't even notice love

even then in a glimmer of light
when everything seemed lost
a smiling old man appeared in a canoe
'let's go!, quickly love, the tide is rising'

already in a safe place in shock love asked wisdom
_ who is that old man, who from the depths of darkness brought me back to daylight?'
wise, owner of the coherent, true expression wisdom answers
_ that old man is time, the master of irony

but why did time act with such simplicity of unparalleled value?
why only time is able to help and understand a great love!
