Dweller of Our Heart
Light dwells in my core
Through ambivalent nights
Light and solar fire,
The incorruptible first breath of Aurora’s blush.
Born in the same chrysalis of the refiner’s flame,
Before the birth of light,
Crafted in birthright,
We rise together
And draw breath from the morning star
We are consecrated in the Eternal’s dawn
My soul knows your light as you know mine.
In everlasting dawn
We live and move
Oblivious to frost and ice
Mesmerized by the rapture of grace
And like sunflowers,
Blooming in a never-ending summer,
We turn in the same breath
To dance a unison
With our Creator’s face.
We, reflections of hallowed perfection,
Know harmony
Yoked by caritas
I feel your marrow
As a soulmate
As we compose one fire song,
Given to us,
In harmony,
By the Spirit ~ dweller in our hearts.
Risas brotantes de charlas errantes,
Risueñas de goce sin destino definido,
Buscando en la alegría un velo radiante
Que oculte heridas que aniquilan y ofenden.
Pequeñas caritas iluminadas de sonrisas,
Grandes cicatrices en el tejido de la vida,
Tristes olvidos de etapas tan necesarias,
Sin vivencias de la niñez florecida.
Contemplando una triste ausencia de resguardo,
Veladas por destellos de fugaz inocencia,
Reflejadas en episodios efímeros,
En espacios extraños a sus guías y referentes.
Historias de terror anidan en el ser que procrea,
Huellas del rechazo transmitidas sin tregua,
Odio y rencor, corrosivos, dañan su envoltura,
Fantasmas que atormentan un tierno corazón en penumbra.
Ira ante un entorno que delata su pesar,
Su motivo yace en la desazón del presente,
Guardando repulsión hacia un contexto ajeno,
Protegiendo al perpetrador de narrativas dolorosas y dolientes.
El fuego de la rabia arde al vislumbrar estos hechos,
breves instantes de alegría seguidos de recelo y desdén,
rostros cubiertos de cargas y tristezas que no es suya,
demonios que corrompen el alma del indefenso ser.
Deus Caritas Est L
(God is love)

God has given to each His love without fuss,
Through love He gave us his only begotten son.
While we were yet sinners Jesus died for us,
Promising everlasting life when our race is run.
God gave us a commandment to love each other,
If we can’t love another then God we don’t know.
As He loved us, we’re to likewise love our brother,
and will be held accountable for the seed we sow.
So unto God’s teachings let us always adhere,
remembering, His perfect love casteth out all fear:
Matthew 10:28 (KJV)
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Here have I not a cage,
But a caritas thermonest,
There in my balcony it stands;
So when garden withers it leaves,
And fields have no mustard of grain,
Remember my balcony as your fortress
And fly boldly to your grains and warmness
