Don't give up, you still have time
to reach up and start anew,
Accept your shadows,
Bury your fears,
Free your burdens,
Fly again.
Don't give up, that's what life is
Continue the journey,
Follow your dreams,
Unstuck time,
Move the rubble,
And uncover the sky.
Don't give up, please don't give way,
Even if the cold burns,
Even if fear bites,
Even if the sun sets,
And the wind goes silent,
There is still fire in your soul
There is still life in your dreams.
Because life is yours and yours is the desire
Because you have loved it and because I love you
Because wine exists and love is true.
Because there are no wounds that time doesn't cure.
To open the doors,
Take away the locks,
Abandon the walls that have protected you,
To live life and accept the challenge
Get back laughter,
Practice a song,
Lower the guard and extend the hands
Open the wings
And try again,
Celebrate life and take back the skies.
Don't give up, please don't give way,
Even if the cold burns,
Even if fear bites,
Even if the sun sets,
And the wind goes silent,
There is still fire in your soul
There is still life in your dreams.
Because every day is a new beginning,
Because this is the hour and the best moment.
Because you are not alone, because I love you.

How on earth do you write like that? Thank you for lifting my day.
ReplyDeleteI wish Mario were here to answer your question!
DeleteYes sadly, I should have put how did he write like that? It has set me on the path of reading his other work. Thank you.
DeleteOkay to talk to him. He's still there in his poem, somewhere. :)
DeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous poem. However, I'm bothered by the line "unstuck time" because it feels like a translation error given the tense of the other verbs. I looked at the source and the Spanish version has "destrabar el tiempo". Looking that up on Google Translate, which is not necessarily an awesome source, I got "unlock" as the translation of "destrabar", which feels like a better fit. I hope someone who's fluent in both languages happens by and might respond someday.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean and I will read it like that in future
DeleteI love the directness of this poem…. like he is right there talking directly w/you…. & right at the captured moment realizing that this is the only real time we have. 🎶Refika
