TO OVERCOME AN EMPTY NEST

Marc Chagall

Memory is always
a path to a joy that
has been sealed
in our hearts
 
But it also is a tear
that has not dropped
out of our spirit
and stays in our eyes
like an ocean of sadness
 
¿Is it possible to measure
either of them?
 

Memory should be
the essence of what
has been
no matter what
life surprises us
in unexpected roads

The sole name of
Mellissa the sweetness
of her smile
is the memory
printed in our days
as a story of a bird
that when flies away
amidst the wind
her song keeps in
the air the words that
are yet to be said

May that be the 
beauty working hard
to overcome
the empty nest
