Solo estrellas (poema /Día de las Madres) || Only Stars (poem /Mother's Day)
¡Hola, Hiveneses! || Hi, Hiveans!
Todos somos hijos, los niños de alguien. Y hasta cuando las canas y el cuerpo nos dicen que ha pasado ya mucho tiempo y que es natural dejar el mundo de los vivos en algún momento, es imposible dejar de buscar alguna señal de ese sitio secreto y místico adonde se van las almas cuando ya no vemos sus formas humanas.
We are all children, someone's children. And even when our hair turns gray, and our bodies tell us that it’s been too long already and that it's natural for everybody to leave the world of the living at some point, it's impossible for us to stop looking for some sign of that secret and mystic place where souls go when we no longer see their human shapes.
Solo estrellas
.
Adonde yo te busco solo hay estrellas
y la inmensidad que se torna
hacia mis ojos y los llena
con imágenes nítidas del pasado,
recuerdos como aves que vuelan
con plumas blancas y ligeras;
la espera, suspendida en el aire
luminoso, debajo de sus alas queda
al resguardo tibio de la infinitud.
La quietud de este gran espacio y sus velas,
tantas como almas idas al exilio
de ese lugar eterno que es el cielo,
es gloria tuya y consuelo mío,
que me voy quedando atrás.
Pero ya que sigo existiendo, me acerco.
Yo te busco en el halo de la luna
y en la refulgencia de un anhelo.
Yo te busco en estas letras de luz,
apartando el espacio negro.
Adonde yo te busco solo hay estrellas.
Only Stars
Where I look for you, there are only stars
and the immensity that turns
towards my eyes and fills them
with clear images of the past,
memories like birds at flight
showing me their light white feathers;
my waiting, suspended in the luminous
air beneath their wings stays warm,
sheltered in their infinity.
The stillness of this sky with its candles
like many souls exiled
to that eternal place that is heaven
is your glory and my consolation,
for I’ve just been left behind,
but as I continue to exist, I get closer.
I look for you in the halo of the moon
and in the refulgence of my longing.
I look for you in the light of these letters,
as I push aside the blackness around them.
Where I look for you, there are only stars.
Una hermosa reflexión y un hermoso poema. Los primeros cristianos, pensaban que las almas de los difuntos moraban en una estrella. Quizás por eso, antiguamente, en muchos hogares rurales se dejaba una pequeña abertura en el techo, por la que supuestamente se facilitaba el tránsito. Un abrazo
Gracias, @juancar347. Qué sería de nosotros sin el consuelo de nos da el no estar seguros de nada y así, poder creer en maravillas --que bien pueden ser ciertas.
Te abrazo de vuelta :)

Happy belated mother's day to all the Mama, Mammies, Mums, Moms and Mothers out there 💚💛🧡
You're so sweet, @ablaze :) Thank you very much. Same to your wife and your mom --I hope she still with you :)
You're more than welcome 🥰
We celebrate Mothers day in March in Ireland and my wife and Mum had lovely days. I'm blessed that both herself and my Dad are still with us. They are amazing people who sacrificed so much to give my brothers, sisters and I everything we needed, especially love, kindness and support always. God bless them.
Glad to hear that :) May they live many years happily and healthy
Thanks for those heartfelt sentiments. You're very good.
