LETTER TO MYSELF

In time of crisis

humans forgive and forget,

how the infinite laws of the universe

pull the society together by a magnificent

force of love and grief

sorrow and joy.

This letter is not to say good-bye

it is not a farewell,

it is to remind you

how fragile we are

as a society.

Let me ask you

why is so hard to express love?

I have been thinking about it,

I found that love lives in all of us

so why it is so hard to express it?

Do not answer now

I will see you,

when I see you

then I will confront you

when you least expect it

therefore, no lies could come out of your mouth

because I cannot lie to myself.

When you no longer exist

neither your laughter

or the shiny smile,

when no longer a clown

this letter will be the testament of you

for the ones that will come

to rule the clan.

  

Before you go

remember

this planet is like a human body

humans are its cells,

some die,

others live

this body of ours will only exist

if you protect it

if you don't let the bad cells

blast it away.

Once again, this letter is to remind you

to love every day

to remind you that nothing,

absolutely nothing matters

when one self is gone,

all the material things stay

only what you have learned

eat, see and love

will go with you

to eternity.

You are your best friend

you should always preserve the remarkable spirit of survival,

the freedom to continue your life in a graceful manner,

so what is left of your existence in this place?

will teach your children about you,

about your integrity and your relentless pursue

Of honesty and freedom,

which not always

coexist under this beautiful blue sky,

where the magnet of attraction

is nothing else but

the spell of love.

Sincerely,

your best friend

Edwin Vasquez.
