Open your senses

by Jonathan Becedas

Open your senses.
Feel the world,
the air,
the heart,
your life.

Do not let
the darkness reach you;
it does not exist: it was invented
to make you afraid
of yourself.

Break free.
Fill your face with raindrops;
your body with snow;
your sweat with the sun.
Leave your footprints on the ground.
Through yourself on the sand.
Smell the storm.
Caress the blackness.
Kiss the light.
¡Love!

Do not be afraid to live.
Feel the privilege of staying here,
and the gift of being
human.
