WHEN THE STORM PASSES
When the storm passes
and the roads are tamed,
and we are survivors
of a collective shipwreck.
With a weeping heart
and destiny blessed
we will feel happy
just for being alive.
And we will give a hug
to the first unknown
and praise the luck
of keeping a friend.
And then We will remember
everything we lost
at once we will learn
everything we did not learn.
And we will not be envious
because everyone will have suffered. more compassionate.
What is worth more will be more Yes,
than ever before.
We will be more generous,
and much more committed.
We will understand how fragile
it means to be alive.
We will sweat empathy
for who is and who has left.
We will miss the old man
who was asking for a peso in the market,
who did not know his name
and was always by your side.
And perhaps the poor old man
was your God in disguise.
You never asked for the name
because you were in a hurry.
And everything will be a miracle
and everything will be a legacy.
And life will be respected,
the life we have won.
