Love Us As As We Are
Every evening,
when silence
envelops our thoughts,
our fragile
heart
finds in us the
strength
to expand.
In this inner
connection,
we transform
ourselves, often,
like blind men
groping in the darkness
of total
discomfort and discouragement.
We become lone
warriors
of inner
emotional battles
that implode and
explode
continuously and
relentlessly
within us.
They are storms
and emotional
upheavals,
dragging us into
the blind,
muddy depths of
anguish.
of our ego.
They tend to
dilute
the essence of
love,
the only balm
that heals and
saves
of our fleeting
and tormented
existence.
Thus, we
lubricate
our soul
with the oil of
courage,
with the light
of forgiveness
and affection.
We learn to love
ourselves
as we are,
capturing the
radiant rays
and keep them in
our heart.
Immense Melancholy
Sometimes my
eyes get lost
through the high
tide of pain
and loneliness
creeps
into the folds
of my existence.
Then, helpless,
but never
completely defeated,
I bend like a
cane
on my heart, and
I feel it
the fury of life
that lashes relentlessly...
And, when all
seems lost,
a warm ray of
light comes to illuminate,
in the silence,
my immense
melancholy.
