A Friend
Beyond the eyes,
beyond the skin,
in the heart
where the voice trembles.
A friend is a
presence
that embraces
unspoken wounds,
hidden pains
between the folds of the soul.
It is darkness
that becomes light,
a presence that
becomes essence,
a face without a
mask.
A friend, a safe
harbor
where you can
remain silent or radiant,
without fear of
failure.
She knows your
fragility
and protect it
like a sacred mystery.
She keeps it
safe, weaving sacred pain
with golden threads of hope.
And so, in
shared silence,
a precious
tapestry flies over my heart,
beyond words,
beyond time, beyond life itself.

I Feel Tenderness …
I feel
tenderness for those
who dance on the
weight of a past.
When the lights
go out, they remain lite,
like a star
illuminating the night,
as love does not
end;
it transforms,
it redefines,
like water that
flows,
now serene, now
impetuous.
I feel
tenderness for those
who know that
true strength
is not the
absence of pain,
but making space
for sweetness
even when the
world screams.
I feel
tenderness for those
who respect
boundaries,
for those who
know that "no, it's nothing"
contains a
universe,
for kindness is
not weakness,
but strength
that builds,
and words can be
caresses
but also
boulders.
I feel
tenderness for those
who, when they
meet your gaze,
gift you a
smile,
a glimpse of
eternity,
that sweeps you
off your heart.
For in a simple
gesture
there is all the
love in the world.
