The Footprints of Borges

In labyrinths of ink and knowledge,

a blind guide, illuminating being.

With words, he wove parallel worlds,

mirrors where we see our longings.

In every library, a universe,

on every page, a perverse dream.

Time is an eternally branching river,

and destiny, a garden without winter.

His footprints, shadows in the Aleph,

an echo in the garden of intersecting paths.

In every verse, an echo of his faith,

Borges lives, where reality blurs.
