O poeta e a borboleta

* Por Alberto Cohen

Um poeta

             muito triste

                              e sozinho.

                                             Tão sozinho

                                                              que seu rosto

                                                                                 não sabia refletir

                                                                                                          nos espelhos,

                                                                                               e tão triste

                                                                                  que chorar

                                                                     nem queria.

                                                       De repente,

                                         percebeu

                               azulada

                    borboleta,

             linda,

livre,

       e feliz.

                  Mais poeta,

                                      mais sozinho,

                                                            e mais triste,

                                                                                descreveu

                                                                                               alegria,

                                                                                                                liberdade

                                                                                                 e beleza,

                                                                                 de maneira

                                                                tão perfeita,

                                                que podia,

                                  ele mesmo,

                ser aquela

borboleta.
