The heart every day

The heart will always keep
all the memories,
all the journeys,
all the landscapes,
all the winters,
all the waves with their beaches,
all the rivers with their banks,
all the laughter and tears,
all the good and bad times.

Only the heart saves us
where we place
the language of tenderness,
the unreason of hope,
the complicit gaze,
the indecisive passion
and the sweetness of the company,
when the grey reality
turns into the serene
daily life of your hand
and its breeze into our life.

(Miguel Angel Mesa Bouzas)
