For the first time

For the first time in my life

I have smiled while under pressure

It has taken me a while,

to be brave and learn that treasure.

I have even been amused

that I learned to keep on walking,

falling isn't an excuse

I'm more listening less talking.

For the first time I can breathe

the lightness that freedom brings

for the first time, I'm at ease

and I traded feet for wings.

For the first time I can dream

without closing my eyes shut,

I no longer swim up stream

I just flow against my "gut".

I can stand on solid ground

even as my whole world shakes

for the peace that I have found

never fails and never breaks.

1925 dias encerrados en seis cajas
sin rumbo, sin remitente,
sin un recuerdo latente
de la vida que aposto como si fueran barajas.

Con un rotulo de fragil se define el contenido,
entre dos arcos me encierro
y hoy que ya no me aferro,
he logrado sonreir al pensar en lo vivido.

46,200 horas has durado casi intacta
has visto las ramas nacer
has visto llorar y llover
has sido testigo fiel, casi perfecta y exacta.

Los unicos versos que te he dedicado
en el centro de mi alma
mas que todo existe calma
lo que iva a ser vivido se vivio,
un ciclo se termino y otro se ha iniciado.

1925 dias; encerrados en seis cajas,
sin rumbo, sin remitente
sin un recuerdo latente
una vida que
