Un Mundo de Color
Alex Campos
A World of Color
Today the day began
And even though the Sun didn't show up
I will keep loving you
And if today I forgot
The color of the flowers
The scent of their smell
Take a colored pencil
Paint over that stain
Hope and forgiveness
Paint the cold in brown
Put red on the heart
Put white on resentment
When the sky is cloudy, take that eraser
Erase all bitterness, paint the world in color
From life we learn, from drawing the erasure
From flowers their aroma, from perfume their smell
From children their innocence, from the elderly their value
Give wings to life
Put water in that vase
You are that flower
You are water that stirs
You are a letter in poetry
You are God's verb
Look closely in the mirror
His love that reflection
Don't think it was a mistake
When the day ends
And the curtain falls
The show is over
The night becomes cold
The strength in you agonizes
The Moon has already hidden
Paint that poetry
Give the sky a smile
Put wings on the mattress
