POEM FOR JOY
Today I found a path
in a flower.
No, no, no...
It wasn't a mistake.
I went for a walk
one of those we take in
the countryside.
The kind that take us to the river
to get our feet wet
and throw stones
into the water
to laugh at
its waves.
A screaming bird
lifted my eyes
for me to see it
painting the sky with
its yellows and
its reds.
Suddenly, there,
disguised as green,
I saw a flower
in which
I found a path
to the joy
of life.
Who said that
all is lost?
