BERTHA GALÁN


 

Bonds Of Friendship

 

There are friends who pour out fragrance

like morning dew upon the earth,

their presence subtle, fresh…

soothes the ever-shadowed corners,

bathed in shields of golden light.

 **

Angels, stars of the heavens

their wings gleam in radiant glow,

they shelter the earthly cry

leaving Orphean melodies…

with voices of celestial blue.

**

O Pleiades, fountain of life!

New water, tender grass!

hey embrace the soul’s own light

friends, like the whispering wind,

breathe joy along the path.

**

In seasons dark, without the sun

when trembling grass…

ceases to shine within the soul

a face of memorable brilliance,

 returns the secrets of the sea.

 

Eternal Friendship

 

Who said friendship doesn’t exist?

It is the sun that clears the mist,

the hand that halts the tears

the sea where it finds its home.

It is the only true magic

where the heart finds rest.

**

Friends with unexpected smiles

a flash of light in the shadows,

a compass pointing the way

they lead us to the ocean’s shore.

They offer joy pure and sincere

a path of sacred truce.

 **

Worthy stars shine in the sky

they sow light in the soul’s gardens,

rivers nourish arid deserts

leaving footprints on fertile ground.

The most beautiful in life…

bloom at the summit of the soul!

**

Friends, simply friends

born in the promised land,

constellations in the blue landscape.

For when they see the wounded flower,

friendship renews the dawn

giving new life to life.
