Una Palabra

One word means nothing
and at the same time it hides everything
just like the wind that hides the water
like the flowers that the mud conceals.

One glance means nothing
and at the same time it says everything
like the rain on your face
or the old map of some treasure.

One truth means nothing
and at the same time it hides everything
like a fire that never goes out
like a stone that turns to dust.

If one day you're gone, I’ll be nothing
and at the same time I’ll be everything
because in your eyes are my wings
and the shore where I drown,
because in your eyes are my wings
and the shore where I drown.
