Lo mucho que te quiero
Su Rebozo Veide
By Isabel Old/eras
Hoy me he detenido a
su jardirv ella vestia su rebozo verde.
La hiz caia como agua viva
en cad a macetita, cada rosal y cada hoja.
El gesto de sus mano6 milagrosas
daban a las plantas su belleza. Mi memoria
teje y desteje su rebozo verde: su risa, y su labor.
El sol muy delkadamente se
reclinaba sob re la fuente de arcoins
entre Su mirada. Los nardos
daban un nuevo aroma mien ffes
Escuchaban su canto y las flores
respiraban alegr.a. Mientras se le caia
una semilla, en? jia una flor, una luz y una oradon.
Todo forece en la palma de sus manos.
Era una aromonia increib le y un
aire acarician te que t ej ian este rebozo
verde; o quizas ere otra armonia
mas hond a: raiz oculta y viva.
No se nada. Yo contemplo, pues, y vtvo este breve
momento.
