TRUSTWORTHINESS
We live this rat race life we have been finally carried away into, not realizing that most of the time the true important things in it, go bye, and we are unawared of little things that in the long run become important.
We fail to perceive a little gesture, the lack of of a word at an important moment, the little hints we were left there to follow. Yet, we go on ahead, cause that is what we have to do. To carry on, to accomplish our goals, those that have been set so long ago that we have almost forgotten what they were meant for. An in this continuos, never ending cycle we have entered and that will repeat once and again becoming almost imperceptible to us, we lose ourselves, and we lose those around. trustworthy people are hard to find and in this eagerness to reach the finishing line we blindly believe that we will be accompanied by those we have deposited our faith in. Times have changed, this kind of thought is a thing of the past, so we'd better face the fact that the only trustworthy human being around is us. There might be someone else but this would be a miracle to find. IN the long run we have to come to accept that everybody has its own canoe to paddle and luckily will manage to do so if follows the old English saying, that travels faster who travels light.
But again, Maktub, who knows miracles do happen and we might come across this weirdo who does believe past ways were not so bad and has come to realize that trustworthiness is something that really matters and which might bring about some profit in the end. The gain that counting on an equal brings about, that feeling that guarantees you won't spend a life pulling alone of a cart that is too heavy for anyone to tow, the bliss of getting somewhere, whatever place you call home to find a true smile waiting for your arrival, the feeling of belonging that after all reminds us of the one main reason we are human beings, the greagarious need to share our existance with some other human beings.
This was written exactly about a year ago, when the beginning of the end started. When I got the worst piece of news I thought I could get, yet there were many more nasty pieces of news to come and of course as the saying goes.... that which does not kill you only makes you stronger, thanks for the piece of advice.
Mirando la distancia
Y olvidando la constancia
Encuentro en la ausencia
Más que paciencia
Se enfría la mirada
Se aparta el pensamiento
Y entre tanto lamento
Haber estado angustiada
Pasan las sonrisas
Pasan los rencores
Y asoman los temores
En el borde de la prisa
Cuanto cuesta la confianza
Esa que se da entera
Porque al final queda
Solo la añoranza
Hay quienes ponen distancia
Para jugar este juego
Y en el mismo hay prestancia
Para el amor pasajero
Hay quienes dan todo
Y nada esperan
Pero a la larga encuentran
Un nuevo velo
Ese que trae incertidumbre
Ese que muestra el acero
De unos ojos que antes
Parecían sinceros
