Es Asi
Alejandro Filio
That's How It Is
She can catch the sun with her arms
or create a flower with a piece of fabric,
light up the morning just by laughing,
opens a window and the air happily sneaks in,
like I've never been without her.
She weaves a story of light and cotton
and as she passes by, the shadow turns into color,
she never says 'I'm yours' like the April moon
but daily she shines bright and whole,
complete, sincere.
While my song protects, there's nothing I can say
to talk about her lips, there are no exact verses or subtle rhyme.
That's how it is and it will be.
That's how it is and nothing more.
She plays with Mars and turns it into a tapestry,
folds the world in two parts, to love and to live,
it may be that someone before dreamed of dreaming in her hair
but not in her dream, how I stay awake
dreaming of her.
She has the good song in her eyes
and a constellation in her chest and back,
she unties hurricanes, hugs me and turns off the light,
hangs time on the hanger behind the door
and then she approaches.
