Quando os momentos se transformam em poemas...

Hoje decidi partilhar convosco um dos mais belos poemas que já li, que senti e que já vivi...
Este poema fez-me regressar ao passado, aquele momento preso no tempo que não podemos alterar, e por mais incrível que possa parecer, ao contrário de outros momentos em que choro quando regresso ao passado, eu sorri enquanto o lia.
É sinal de que o passado valeu a pena! Significa que eu o vivi e que cresci, por mais doloroso que tenha sido esse crescimento... dedico-o à mesma pessoa com quem o partilhei pela primeira vez, apenas para lhe dizer que : não guardo nenhum rancor!

When moments become poems...

That long slow babbling easy day
was one of the perfect ones
one of those moments of happiness that leaves a picture
to flash through my mind with sudden memory
when some song reminds me
it's not the first of those you've given me...
Simple, fleeting moments, recognized,
lived and breathed deeply,
held precious by my memory…
I shuffle through my moments
and I find such vivid ones with you
maybe I'm just an obsessive type,
but I'll tell you…
I liked you from the start
-- I knew before I knew --
but I wasn't yours then
I'm not yours now
I'm not even sure if I could be...
God, maybe I'd like to be!
I'd like to give you back
all the moments that become poems
just because they're so simply beautiful
That's the thing:
those easy vivid days,
that unforgettable kiss,
all the poems I'll never give you
make me desperate to share,
to be certain you know how I cherish you…
It's selfish really…
I don't want to be looking back on all
the precious little memories
wishing I'd tried harder to appreciate them
I don't mind the "what if..." --
it's the "if only..." I can't live with…
I'm not saying there has to be
some sort of transformation,
some little flag planted at the crossroads
all the perfect little moments are just perfect moments!!
...but I do want you to know how they nourish me
this is just what I feel
I can't let it go by without saying something
This magic we have – between, around, through us –
this is the best of it…
whatever it is!!
This is what life gives you when you're lucky
doesn't matter what happens… it's just there!!

S.M.P.

Tão lindo e positivo! É isso que levamos da vida, momentos inesquecíveis e aprendizagens, algumas duras, mas quando transformados em momentos belos, valem a pena recordar. Beijo, e um hino à vida 'without regret'.
