An old woman sits by a window, the blue glow of the evening illuminates and
 caresses, the light silver silks that the
 years bring forth, she is tired, lonely,
 she regrets her laziness.
 her hands have crossed on her old
 empty heart, run away into her
 memories, always so well hidden, but
 now that he can reach her
 lips, she lets the gold flow from her eyes
 full of fever, the nest is empty, but
 she is still there.She thinks of that wild and
 buzzing
 youth who made
 her life a frantic, noisy, joyful race
 , whose soul so
 vibrant, dilated her whole being with a starry
 smile.The light has dimmed and the
 lights vary, but why does it feel
 , a little heavier, this painful
 silence of the dry spring, names
 it no longer hears, carried away by the wind?
 The lamp has gone out, the oasis is resting, the
 old lady is dying, like a
 rose scent, floating in the air, strengthened by the
 years, this sweet scent of love, from an old
 mother's heart.
