Hello blog land! I have not written in a long time. I was in Guatemala for 5 and a half weeks, getting my Spanish on and meeting a lovely family, la familia Jimenez from Antigua. Below is a poem I just wrote expressing my feelings about leaving Guatemala. There I was constantly surrounded by others in my family, whether they be Guatemaltecos or other foreigners like me. I am now back in my life, with lots of time for myself. The poem is called Soledad, which means solitude or loneliness.
Soledad, de repente tú eres mi compañera No tienes una melodía para mi Ni risa, ni sonrisa Solamente me das a mi el reflejo Que veo en el espejo
Yo tengo en mi taza El sabor de una tierra Yo llevo conmigo Su artesanía Yo tengo en mi corazón El ternura de la familia
Pero no pude llevar los que Me daban a mi, No un reflejo vacío Sino alegría y cariño. Se los dan a alguien como yo Ahora una extranjera querida
Soledad, no puedo aguantarte No quiero que me conquistes Pero así es la vida mía Lleno de ti, de libros y palabras, De horas sin contacto Con madre, padre, hermana, amiga
Que Dios bendiga el día que me dejes, Y la vida me te cambie por algo mejor, Algo vivo, algo del amor
