Painting

In a loud corridor

Full of young people

I move slowly, reconciled.

I have lived a little longer than they have.

And yet I do not know how

They recognize my face,

They smile at me so calmly.

 

On the walls

Reproductions of masters.

One calls me,

Face distorted,

Naked in his suffering.

I stop my thoughts.

I look.

I see his bitten soul.

Too many sunsets

in blood-red color.

He and she,

They lost everything

And yet they still see

so much love.

 

I am already with them,

on their portrait.

I am part of these colors.

I search in a corridor of eclipses,

Flashing hopes.

To soothe their dignity,

To save the bond between them.

 

I take this story in my hands, so gently.

Together, we look into earthly wounds.

We allow them to scar over,

Day after day,

Year after year.

Until they grow over with life.

Until they grow over with green grass.

I will be happy.

Observing how they grow in true strength

Of human fragile beings,

Of impatient humanity, longing to be reborn.
