My encounter with this poem from our acquaintance: Venezuelan teacher, writer, poet and politician Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, happened a few years ago, when I was a specialist teacher in Music.
In the office of the cultural coordinator, the poem was posted on the wall next to other poems and some recognitions obtained by the Institution. While we organized the cultural event for the Anniversary of the school, during a short break and while we had a coffee, (which I could not miss) my gaze was fixed on that wall that was in front of me and this writing shook me tenderly, its content so beautiful made me travel through time and memories. Beloved memories of my childhood, my youth and my adult life, because the deep, thoughtful and never best written poem towards a loved one who is not physically, seemed written for a person whom I will always love, my Mother.

It should be noted that the planning of the cultural event at least on my part almost took second place, my mind did not want to be adding or subtracting minutes to the duration of the scheduled activities, so that the entire organization worked as well as possible. The coordinator noticed my absence despite my presence and she politely told me: You are not here! After a few exchanges of smiles, I confessed what was happening to me and stressed that I really loved that poem because I felt that it described my Mom and the love we shared.
From that moment there was not a day that I stopped by that office and read it one or more times. It became my favorite poem by this great Venezuelan author. The day the coordinator left the student center, I approached and asked her and she gladly agreed to give it to me.

Gracias.
por tu voz en la sombra diluida,
por tu silencio pleno;
gracias porque me diste tu palabra
empapada en sonrisas y suspiros,
por tu mirada tierna llena de evocaciones;
gracias porque en un tiempo estremecido
me diste una rosa de cien pétalos
cuyo aroma sutil crece en el aire
donde vivo y respiro clamoroso
de tu lejana ausencia y tus latidos.
Thanks.
Thank you for your enlightened presence
for your voice in the diluted shadow,
for your complete silence;
thank you because you gave me your word
drenched in smiles and sighs,
for your tender gaze full of evocations;
thank you because in a shaky time
you gave me a hundred-petalled rose
whose subtle scent grows in the air
where I live and breathe clamorous
of your distant absence and your heartbeat.
Luis Beltran Prieto Figueroa
Nos vemos una próxima vez. Gracias!!
See you next time. Thank you!!
Extraordinario sin lugar a dudas @orlandogonzalez unas letras invaluables que nos aportas acompañándolo de toda una historia de enseñanza que me encanta. "Gracias" es una sencilla letra llena de amor a la madre.
Gracias amiga @sacra97.
Creo que pocas letras dibujan un amor tan sublime como el de una madre.
Me encanta la obra en prosa que dejó Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, pocas veces he conseguido sus poemas, por lo que este post es realmente un regalo para el alma.
El agradecimiento pleno, a esa luz que se mantiene inalterable en el poema, excelentes imágenes.
Es un hermosa selección para este concurso.
Saludos cordiales.
Agradezco el comentario @charjaim!
La poesía de Prieto realmente, no es fácil de conseguir. Yo tuve la bendición de encontrarme con este.
Un abrazo!
