Here’s my latest poem, with photographs and voice over by my dear friend Charo.
It really means a lot to me, so I hope it gives you a moment of reflection, and that you share it with those you love too.

FULL TEXT IN SPANISH:
Llegará un día que ya no seré. No sentiré, reiré, lloraré,
no gritaré ni cantaré, no saltaré, amaré ni sufriré.
Cuando llegue ese momento, espero que sea como
una caricia de brisa de mar que me haga sucumbir
en un sueño profundo del que ya no despierte y me convierta en nada.
Cuando sea nada, quizás, sólo quizás, alguien me recuerde como lo que fui o lo que le signifiqué.
Así, pequeña, como una milésima parte de un grano de arena, nada soy y nada seré.
ENGLISH TEXT:
There will come a day when I will no longer be.
I won’t feel, laugh, cry, I won’t scream or sing, I will not jump, love or suffer.
When that time comes, I hope it will be like a caress of sea breeze to make me succumb in a deep sleep from which I will no longer wake up and I become nothing.
When I am nothing, perhaps, just perhaps, someone will remember me like what I was or what I meant to them.
Like this, small, like a millionth part of a grain of sand, I am nothing and I will be nothing.
