Paz, Poet and Artist of Peace
From the scars of war, my verses seek peace and hope.
From the scars of war, my verses seek peace and hope.
I was born in Sidi Ifni, a province of Spain that advances.
where the war of 1957 left its mark on me, a shadow in hope.
At the tender age of almost three years, amidst chaos and desolation,
memories were etched in the depths of my heart.
The echoes of those days still resonate within me,
shadows of a childhood I could barely see.
In every forced laugh, in every hidden tear,
lies the pain of a cultured innocence.
Artist and poet, with a marked soul,
walking through life, carrying a heavy load.
In my quest for joy, in this unjust world,
internal scars make it hard to feel at ease.
Though I smile and write, under a gray sky sometimes
deep within my being, what I lived is sometimes kept
Humanity sometimes despairs, sometimes fades away,
And moves forward, thanks to the divine soul that cradles us.
Despite the pain that nests in my soul,
life flows in each verse, an undefeated force.
Like a river that persists, despite the stones in its course,
my spirit as a poet and artist shines in adversity.
In art, I find refuge, in poetry, a home,
a place where wounds can begin to heal.
My words are bridges, between yesterday and tomorrow,
an attempt to heal, to ease the war in peace.
Thus, each verse or brushstroke is a light in the darkness,
I try to find balance between pain and clarity.
In my human journey, as a poet, as an artist, as a being,
I seek to sow hope, in a world that sometimes seems to perish.
In the darkest moments, where hope seems distant,
a faint light arises, in the still young soul.
It is in the darkest night, where the stars shine brightly,
reminding me that even pain reinforces its lesson.
In every sigh of discouragement, in every moment of despair,
I find a thread of strength, a spark of inspiration.
As a poet, I long for my verses to become a beacon,
a refuge in the storm, warmth in the desolation.
In these times of wars, I wish my voice to have power,
not only to express pain but also to be reborn.
Because even in the deepest and most heartbreaking sorrow,
there lies the possibility of peace and a new dawn.
