ONE YEAR MORE
Only one year more,
only one,
365 days to add
at your life;
a little part
in the slow rolling of Your Time;
the last small fragment
of a great existence.
Only one year, but
this number so little
and nearly slight
can hold in itself
a myriad of events,
many happy moments and perhaps
also some worries.
One year more,
an insignificant particle
that added to all of others
obtains a significance,
a stage of growth
in the long way that
destiny reserved to you.
It’s only one year more,
only one,
that if it’s put
into the balance of the life,
doesn’t weigh so much;
another small finish line
in the incessant Run.
What does a year is, after all,
in front of the immensity
of a whole life?
An eyelash-beat,
an instant, an essence,
a fragment of that Whole
so much wide.
It’s only one year more,
don’t make a tragedy,
it’s one year more,
only one.
