<p>I'm not truly super into writing poetry, or reading it for that
matter, but every now and then I do like to read certain special poems,
and even write some poetry of my own. That being said, it's truly not
all that different from writing song lyrics. I guess my point is don't
expect much.</p>

<h3 id="concedeme-un-deseo" >Concédeme Un Deseo</h3>
<p>Cielo de la noche,<br />
belleza como la mujer celeste.<br />
Brillo de estrellas lejanas<br />
fuegos violentos y tranquilos.</p>

<p>Tu consistencia me alivia<br />
de los vientos turbulentos.<br />
Con los cambios más mínimos<br />
como para captar mi imaginación.</p>

<p>¿Cuántos misterios guardas?<br />
¿Tantos como el Libro del Amor?<br />
¿Cuántas luces tienes<br />
que brillan como el sol?</p>

<p>Tu oscuridad no la temo<br />
porque sé que no está vacía,<br />
sino repleta de anomalías<br />
que aún no llego a comprender.</p>

<p>Concédeme ser una estrella en tu cielo.<br />
Un granito en la galaxia que ilumina la noche.<br />
Concédeme estar contigo para siempre<br />
en ese reino de paz y consistencia.</p>

<h3 id="marys-eukaristia" >Mary's Eukaristia</h3>
<p>Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, who knows our Lord so well.<br />
How did it feel to keep Him in your womb, so close to your heart?<br />
Were you sad when you had birthed Him, that He had exited from your belly?<br />
(Or) did you rejoice as you could finally hold Him in your arms?<br />
Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, teach me how to receive your Son.</p>

<p>Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, who accompanied our Lord in His Passion.<br />
How did you endure the horror of seeing your Son suffer?<br />
Yet, despite the pain that it caused in your heart, you did not look away.<br />
What sorrow you must have felt, your baby boy lying dead in your arms.<br />
Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, teach me how to receive your Son.</p>

<p>Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, who had faith in the glorious resurrection of our Lord.<br />
How great was your joy when the Good News spread like a shining light!<br />
Your face illuminated with a smile that cannot be contained.<br />
How wonderful did it feel, your Son on your tongue, as He returned to your belly, from whence He came?<br />
Oh Mary, oh holy Mother, teach me how to receive your Son.</p>

<p>Amen.</p>

<h3 id="mi-aportacion" >Mi Aportación</h3>
<p>Cuando te ignoraba, Señor,<br />
no te olvidabas de mí.<br />
Cuando erraba, Señor,<br />
me intentaste corregir.<br />
Al arrepentirme, Señor,<br />
tuviste misericordia de mí.</p>

<p>Yo soy un inmerecido<br />
de tu caridad y tu amor.<br />
Que aunque yo no te de nada<br />
me das todo lo que preciso.<br />
¿Cómo puedo yo pagar<br />
mi deuda contigo?</p>

<p>Tratar a mis hermanos<br />
con caridad y amor.<br />
Mostrarles la misma misericordia<br />
que mostraste ante mi rebelión.<br />
Corregirles fraternalmente<br />
pensando en su salvación.</p>

<p>Aun no es suficiente,<br />
pero es mi aportación.</p>
