My old woman prays, she offers a prayer for that beggar tree that asks the cloud, because her yellowish rags remind her of the dreamed belly.

A cloud answers the request and makes its way between the horizon, she is from other lands but her heart lets her understand another language.

The tree, stopped there in time, only waits for a star to guide its way to the river, the one with long sleeves that takes the savannah in the Apure, that star that lets me see that my heart is small, is filled with a savanna sigh.

Meanwhile, the yellowish rags remember that prayer of the old woman in front of the mirror.

The mirror, the one where the bare trees want to have a new outfit, if the cloud will remember the poor.

The poor, with their children in their nests, pray for a few drops to paint the dress green, and leave the bread under their arms for their children.

The tree with his skinny hands, because they are full of blisters for the time that has stopped his passage, he asks the old mother to pray, everyone prays that the cloud remembers them.

The cloud, as a good father, fights against the paradox of the world, seeks by all means to bring the cup to his table.

There on the ranch the triplets wait, who pray with yellowish rags, their old woman who after millions of births still wants to wear a green dress in front of the mirror of the world.

The world just spins without stopping, it goes on and on because its path is time that should not stop, because with it the cloud will be able to bring the drops to the glass so that the family can bring the table to the table and the green dresses bring that new Beauty time.

Winter greets them from afar, does not want to see the ragged, does not know that he is in front of the mirror and one day he will see how he prays.

Winter is the old woman, the father and the children who have toasted with the glass full of greens.

The beggar is the bare tree, which scatters in its branches the nests full of children.

The mirror, is the world that will let you see that you are all those who are in front of a mirror and do not wait to see yourself praying, only the good father who feeds clouds.

The one who writes these doodles made letters, is only the madman who looks at the world from the mirror and prays, so that the cloud comes with his glass and the greens are reborn in his letters. Summer is strong, poor tree.

Greetings from Earthlings. Today I leave you a poem that I wrote when I was sitting in front of the great mirror of nature, the wind messes with me, while I saw that landscape of these Villacuran lands, lands that I love and that speak to me, I only wrote and they dictated.
