A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words when the years catch up with you / cuando los años te alcanzan

ENGLISH VERSION

WHAT I SEE: Here you see an elderly person with noxtalgia, perhaps reviewing the things he has done over time

WHAT I FEEL: Nostalgia, sadness, etc.

This is how we go about our lives drowning love in rage and whims
That only nesting in our path will always be ours
raining screams, contempt and hitting with hurtful words
little by little we tear love until it leaves us far from our side

So one day we realize, we are in a desert of loneliness
drying out the joys in a sun of unforgiving sadness
seeing only reflections in our memories of that desired love
that our being moved away in our merciless selfishness

Dear to your love that is a delicate flower
letting it express itself in its full being
enjoying its different things without tying it down
so this love will stay forever by your side}
and when the time comes when it reaches you inclement
find you accompanied with the warmth of surprising love

VERSION EN ESPAÑOL

QUE ES LO QUE VEO: Aqui se ve una persona mayor que ve con nostalgia quisas repasando las cosas que ha hecho en el tiempo

QUE ES LO QUE SIENTO: Nostalgia tristeza etc.

Vivimos descuidados dejando pasar las hojas del tiempo
pensando que el árbol de las eras nunca se secara a los descuidos
dejando escapar en el viento del desdén las alegrías que llegan
corriendo en contra del viento alegre al abismo de los egoísmos

Así andamos nuestra vida ahogando el amor en rabias y caprichos
Que solo anidando en nuestro camino siempre será nuestro
lloviendo gritos, desprecios y golpeando con palabras hirientes
poco a poco rasgamos el amor hasta aléjalo de nuestro lado

Así un día nos damos cuenta, estamos en un desierto de soledades
desecando las alegrías en un sol de tristezas inclementes
viendo solo reflejos en nuestro recuerdos de ese amor deseado
que nuestro ser alejo en nuestro egoísmo inclemente

Cuada a tu amor que es una flor delicada
dejando que se exprese en su ser completo
disfrutando de sus cosas distintas sin amarrarlo
así este amor se quedara para siempre a tu lado}
y al llegar el tiempo cuando te alcance inclemente
te encuentre acompañado con el calor del amor sorprendente

Sort:  

He indeed looks sad

if it is the sadness of lost time

Good wisdom ... good poem.

The passage of time is unforgiving and the worst thing that human beings can do is to believe that they are immortal... in this way, time is wasted on superficial things and whims that, in the end, are not important and will not make us grow as people. I really liked your poem and the underlying reflection: to value time and loved ones 🙌. Greetings, @alfrin 🤗.

Time is valuable and we must appreciate it so as not to waste it because in the end we will regret having done so.

We lose opportunities to become better and good people misguided by our selfish desires… this is a nice rendition of that sad picture ❤️
