Perdas Necessárias
Pe. Fábio de Melo
Necessary Losses
Let it go
What no longer belongs to you
Let go of what cannot return
Let die what life has already bid farewell
Open the door of the room and the window
That life's possibilities await you
Come quickly as life needs to go on
What was is no longer useful, it's in the past
And the future is still on the other side
And the present is the gift that time wants to deliver
Tell me
If you think I can listen
Cry to your God if you can't understand
Tear this veil of the Calvary that enveloped you
Such a sublime secret is hidden
In this pain that darkens the horizon
For now, preventing your eyes from seeing
The eternal present of time
The absent present in secret
In the sacred longing that allows to continue
Let die what death has already buried
Let live what has resurrected from it
Don't desire what cannot yet be
It's possible to grow in this moment
Even when what we loved has gone
Longing eternalizes the presence of those who have left
With time, this pain settles
Transforms into silence that waits
To one day reunite in the arms of life.
