Esencia

Essence
Essence
Nature of things
The simplest
The precious
The ones we need to reclaim
The gestures
That are part of the story
Of a people and their memory
Of their generosity
The soul
Poor thing, so worn out
So much pain, so many scars
So hard to heal
It eases
If the future wins her over
Rescuing her dreams
Of utopias to reach.
