((7) News On The Move Poem by Luis Gil de la Puente

((7) News On The Move

Rating: 3.2


Coming back home is like opening the doors again,
like getting in the past with the hope it might change,
But sometimes the future gets there first
And sees us coming.

Charo is not here anymore today
And the deep hole in my mother´s heart
Is growing bigger.
Somebody else´s speed
Took her away from us
Just to prove she was an angel.
The world is an emptier place today.

(In memoriam, Charo)

How do we prepare for something like this? ' Coming back home is like opening the doors again, like getting in the past with the hope it might change, But sometimes the future gets there first And sees us coming.' I agree sometimes future gets there first we have no time to prepare Ihop that joy will come back..A beautiful poem from you-Pia
