Express Your Feeling

 

 Sometimes unspeakable secret may appear

 which does not fit the usual standards

 attempts to oppress and even die

 do not bring the friendly soul to light

 intended from above to support life

 it is useful for giving relief, for living.

 

 It fits fully into everyday life

 It's part of your world and its advice

 of wisdom and great love permeate

 the mind to avoid disasters and dangers

 "Thank the Angels and Saints for your health

 the Virgin and God for the works accomplished

 

 nothing would be possible without them

 remember that you have loved ones and care about you

 in prayer gratitude and refreshment

 without love facing life is hard

 and if due to prejudice it was prohibited

 remember that it leads to infinity.

Dedication to mother

 

 Look at mom when,

 the more days pass,

 the more you admire her beauty.

 She seems like a different person

from the one we had known over the years.

 It seems like there was never enough time

to express gratitude

for the greatest good she gave us: life.

Then, when one day,

 we can't look at her and take care of her,

 we find ourselves talking about

our mother every day and for all the circumstances

that lead back to her,

 with a smile,

 with joy and also with that veil of sadness

dressed in nostalgia.

 

And then we look for that

special and unique sweetness that

only mothers have when

they are framed in silver

and marked by lines on the face that

shines under the light of the eyes

as does not happen with any make-up.

 

 Thoughts are dedicated to the mother

 that she remains forever next to her children and,

 we often meet in the eyes of some mothers, their peers,

 that we always feel a little like our mother too.

 Silence

 

 I hear the whistling of the wind,

 interrupts this deafening silence

 which now fills every moment

 of your overflowing absence,

 The scenario passes before your eyes

 of time imprisoned in the imagination

 

 that wanders with infinite speed

 more than the sound of your words

 attracted into the cosmos by a magnet,

 hope consoles the aching heart

 waits endlessly for your thought

 of serenity and peace as always a harbinger.

 

 Silence is while the sun shines

 dissolves the crystallized dew of absence

 shouts the mind that only wants you,

 in the interminable instant it is presence

 it doesn't matter if real or imagined

 being loved echoes in the silence.

 

 Repeat, love, your voice in confirmation

 he finds relief in internal dialogue

 that when it's true the Earth trembles

 and again in the here and now I receive.

 Silence interrupted by endless minutes

 the hands and numbers had fallen off the clock

 

 and not being able to score time

 replaced by heartbeats that he still knows how to love.
