From Silence to Love

I have walked through valleys of shadow and fear,

Where the world seemed too distant.

My weary soul, without direction or support,

Seeked shelter in voracious silences.

But even in the cold of the colorless night,

There was a breath of love within me.

I was molded by invisible hands,

From those who extended affection and reason to me.

In the most sensitive gestures, I found

The bridge that leads to the heart.

Every glance that saw me without judging

Was a light that made me begin again.

Today I am made of sincere bonds,

Of hugs that heal without saying anything.

I no longer fear the austere paths,

For I have learned to live and to believe.

Love guides me, gives me direction,

It is in it that my song pulsates.

And if one day the pain wants to return,

I will know that I am no longer alone.

I have within me the gift of love

And in others, the bond that ties me together.

Misanthropy is behind me.

Today I am whole, I am peace.
