X- The Keeper of Sheep, Fernando Pessoa

I  I never kept sheep,  But it is as if I did keep them  My soul is that of a shepherd,  It knows the sun and the winds.  And walks hand in hand through seasons  To follow and to hear.  All the peace of Nature without people  Comes to sit beside me.  But I get sad like a sunset  In our imagination,  When the cold falls on the plains  And we feel the night coming  Like a butterfly through a window.  But my sadness is calming  Because it is natural and just  And is that should be in the soul  When it knows it already exists  And the hands pick flowers without the soul noticing it.
