Mirar

Se trata de subirse a ver la caravana

Sentarse a contemplarla

sin tener que tomar ninguna dirección.

Florece en la mirada la quietud;

el ritmo del corazón toca a silencio.

No hay ni un solo sitio a donde ir.

Despacio es la palabra,

calma y estar.

To view

It is about going up to see the caravan ride.

Sit down to contemplate it

without having to go in any direction.

In the gaze quietness blooms;

the rhythm of the heart plays to silence.

There is not a single place where to go.

Slow is the word,

calmness and being.
