Silence
Walking through the shadows
being trapped in the unknown
trying to see a light
who leads me toward a life.
Not finding a clue
why this is so dark, so mute?
I’m scared to think
where can I get through?
Nothing moves, no noise
floating in a space
imaging how’s life could be
when I get there.
Desperated to see that hope
my heart pumps so fast
the intuition guides me
where’s the sunshine?
Soon I can see a light
who rebirths my life
today I can say
I’m ALIVE!!
Jose Luis Lopez
