Who Does Not Love You?

 

by Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal

 

Who does not love you?

Wind that kisses and cools.

Who does not love you?

Rock that skips on the waves.

Who does not love you?

Sky of sun, moon, and stars.

Who does not love you?

River of perpetual dreams?

Rain and dust of tomorrow

and yesterday, be gentle.

Who does not love you?

What is there to be said?

Who does not love you?

Children that laugh and play.

Who does not love you?

Bird of bloodied feathers?

I shake my head in search

of dreams unfulfilled, lost.

Who does not love you?

Depart if you must? I

will linger in shadows.

Who does not love you?

Death, darkness, why do you

bring oblivion and plant

green grass over my grave?
