Saludos amantes de la palabra en @literatos, les deseo lo mejor en este fin de semana. A propósito de la semana Santa recién finalizada, les dejo estos versos que hablan por si solos.

Si hubiese estado ahí en el momento de su muerte. Si hubiese estado presente cuando todos lo injuriaban. Cuando solo lo miraban con ojos de desprecio.

Si hubiese estado ahí, cuando hundían en su costado la lanza de aquel soldado que no sabia lo que hacía. En su rostro no cabía odio amargo ni rencor.

Si hubiese estado ahí, ser testigo de su muerte, abandonado a su suerte venciendo todo pecado. Solo su madre a su lado velando el fin de su vida.

Si hubiese estado ahí quizá nada habría cambiado. Humilde y acobardado en mi silencio culpable, con posición inmutable y casi indiferente.

Testigo silente sería de su asombrosa grandeza, de su humildad y pureza que lo llevaron a la cruz. Pero que hoy brilla su luz en toda la tierra entera.

Ningún hecho habría cambiado, solo mi humilde existencia, con renovada experiencia miraría hacia otro lado sin la mancha del pecado. Si ahí hubiese estado.

If I Had Been There - Poem

If I had been there at the moment of his death. If I had been present when everyone was reviling him. When they looked at him only with eyes of contempt.

If I had been there, when they plunged into his side the spear of that soldier who did not know what he was doing. His face showed no trace of bitter hatred or resentment.

If I had been there, to witness his death, abandoned to his fate overcoming all sin. Only his mother by his side watching over the end of his life.

If I had been there, perhaps nothing would have changed. Humble and cowering in my guilty silence, with an unyielding stance and almost indifferent.

I would be a silent witness to his astonishing greatness, to his humility and purity that led him to the cross. But today his light shines across the entire earth.

No event would have changed, only my humble existence; with renewed experience, I would look the other way without the stain of sin. If I had been there.
