It's gone

The quake has ceased, the storm subsided.
A pale rain keeps the soil moistened.
From impressing darkness, the horizon goes to gray.

The illness is gone.
No more pain, no more fear, no more procedures.
Those days of daily radiation are finished.
There is no body to be poisoned, to be flooded,
Secondary effects  don't reach us
 
What is done is done. 
As you promised, it didn't last forever.
Solution came. 
 
But the the sky is foggy now, 
Collapsed remains scattered around
where I strive to hold myself
from the consolidated light I see 
or the shine I'm determined to perceive.

Lo que pesa / What burdens ...

Algunas personas se han acercado a mi en asombro y miedo por la enfermedad como omnipotente y culpable. Sin embargo, yo no lamento la enfermedad. No guardo coraje porque asaltó nuestra casa. Tampoco resentimiento porque nos privo de los proyectos deseados. Nuestro amor brilló a cada paso, cada dia; alumbrando el dolor, la incertidumbre y el desencanto. Fue nuestra bandera y nuestro refugio; nuestro consuelo y nuestro aliento. Su ausencia física en este mundo de materia es lo que me pesa.

Some people have come to me in awe and fear of the desease as omnipotent and guilty. However, I don't regret illness. I don't keep anger because it assaulted our home. Neither I keep resentment due it prevented us from our desired projects. Our love shined at every step every day; enlightening pain, uncertainty and disenchantment. It was our flag and our refuge; our comfort and strength. Hi Physical absence is what burdens me.
