Escuchas Crecer Una Flor

You listen to a flower grow
you don't care if a motor sounds
there's always water when it rains
if there's incense, there's a smell
you listen to a flower grow

A dog barks at you and it doesn't matter
there's no scream that breaks its peace
because you can escape like water in a basket
asking for your life and your scent

And you collect
the autumn flowers
and petals from a forest that died
and on the edge of winter
your books grow old
and you manage to fall asleep
on a soft cotton

Immersed in the warm smell
of winter in your bed
kissing your skin
and waiting for the return of the sun

And in a second
you travel around the world
and ask me to wait for you for dinner
if a year is an hour
why don't you value it
when you're listening to a flower
how a flower grows

You don't care if a motor sounds
if you can't find me
it's because I'm next to you
wanting to learn to live

I'm afraid of making you a child unintentionally...
