In That Winter of Inquietude
If someone has obtained all from life
and doesn't realize its worth, he certainly
assumes that all have the same fate
offering them everything they desire.
What one lives is remembered
vividly in both childhood and adulthood,
and trying to bury these two
deeper into the dry sand,
they'll come up unexpectedly;
who wouldn't do it knowing
that they are permanent scars
unable to be erased as sadness, or pain?
Being inconsiderate and oblivious
to the fact that we ignore meekness...
that sense of dignity stripped
from the miserable soul as petals
being plucked from a beautiful rose...
similar to mine which froze
in that winter of inquietude, only
awakened by the harmony of spring.
Who has had eyes to pierce
darkness and silence knows
how realistic they are in truth...
perceiving what is concealed
underneath their mystery,
if they couldn't be revealed
in that winter of inquietude.
