Visita Y Acuerdo
Fernando Delgadillo
Visit and Agreement
If for saying what you think
they turn you a sentence
and tell you to shut up,
change instantly the listener
as there will always be someone
who can't hear you.
Without stopping to notice their voids
you make them look at themselves.
Seeing that they hide their lives
in known routes
and advise not to leave,
it invites to sleep.
We are the same, you and I,
just that we never see it that way.
The years of difference work
to stop us to listen
to a younger and an older.
I imagine why: If we had grown up together,
we wouldn't have patience, nor good conscience,
nor that other age to forgive in order to walk.
You know, and sometimes I know,
that a star stain
takes me away from here.
You always behind the flock
that every summer, invites you to leave.
Fly, my dear, fly and you'll see,
that better than flying is to return.
This friend tells you
who dreams of a better path
if you walk with him.
I came to notice around here
that you left when you left
a trail of light,
that illuminated and settled
confidently just like you do.
Then I came to remember that I love you
and that whenever you have something to tell,
I'd like to know it
and sitting by your side, send
the whole world to fly, fly and fly.
