I’m walking, just like Exodus and Alemba
And although am not Casting crowns, am walking as far as the ‘East is from the West’
So many thoughts on my mind, hope I have ’10,000 reasons’ for that,...

Yo en la luz de la luna e mirado mi destino 
de las luces que a lo lejos van
marcando mi retorno
son las mismas que alumbraron
con sus palidos reflejos
 horas de dolor y sufrimiento

Olvera Street
It's where we're spending Mother’s Day
Children run around La Calle, and play
La placita de Olvera Street
Family's coming, it’s where we’ll meet

Spend time at the Candela Shop Square

Disperse their wilted blossoms
Onto grey asphalt

Abstract paintings in ochre and grey
Changing vision of natrure's great art

Auf grauen Asphalt

Abstrakte Bilder in Ocker und Grau
Wechselnder Anblick der Natur
