Learning

Barranc del Puig - Puig Ravine - (Puçoñ, Spain), April 2020

I learned
to walk, to speak,
to play with others,
to be simply happy.

I learned
to read, to write,
to keep things in my mind,
to grow.

I learned
to compete against time,
to conquer my fears,
to share.

I learned
to love, to lose,
to give without expectations,
to thank.

I learned
to live fast,
to carry on without a pause,
to achieve.

Though, now I am learning
to be with myself,
to spare my time,
to grow just inside.

I am learning
to be in sync with the air,
to beat with the waves,
to stop.

I am learning
to walk unhurried,
to enjoy the breeze,
to be calm.

I am learning
to give myself time and space,
to enjoy the silence,
to live life without a haste.

Breathing in this new beat,
I am learning
to be more complete and,
with more light and less hurry,
to be happy in simplicity.
