Paraguay Poem by P.A. NOUSHAD

Music flows like stream flows
lilting polkas, bouncy galopas, languid guaranias...
palpitating memories
fly around
sway in the wind
with the wings of you dear,
Itaipu Dam, Museo del Barro...
beckon me
to enjoy and visit you again,
thrilling names of you:
Roque Santa Cruz, Pablo Aguilar, Richard Ortiz,
Nelson Haedo Valdez pulsing around I feel,
enchanting moments for the world...
could I visit you again
before my wings tired, my mind thirsts dear.
