Unwonted being

 

I feel my not lasting charm will be stolen

From your eyes that I no longer feel, but attract me.

At those moments that they frame me with your holy sweetness.

How to untwine myself of this charm that slips away?

 

Love that is now in constant time pursuing,

Not even winter takes all that summer to its right time.

The sap that freezes allows me to see the falling leaves,

Mistreating me in the hidden fog your beauty in a desert.

 

Ah, summer memory of our yesterday exudes grace,

But today I live as a prisoner within the glass walls.

Indeed, not even this way the ardent longing prevents from raveling

The trail of all beauty that we lived at the fleeting time.

 

God, show me that the annihilated rose through the still winter

will have kept at the core of the universe that unwonted being.
