‘Mother’s Eyes’
I looked into the distance without time
Where are the dense groves of our days
lives and loves
Where on the mountain I was asked
“Tell me what you see”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hearing the sigh of every flower
Earning the trust of an unseen world
I gave myself
To contemplate her eyes in return.
Mother’s eyes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In them I learned the world
Which I was born with
In days of childhood happiness
In the meadows, by the lake, by the sea,
On the benches in the courtyards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The love of those eyes brought softness
They met the sun
To bestow its warmth
You are my mother’s eyes
They didn’t allow to forget benevolence and bounty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And on this day from my mountain
I see her in all places
Where trees and flowers merged into one
Where salt lay on ones lips
Before reaching the sea
