DESEO
¡Quién pudiera ser rey como Gaspar
Seguir la estrella al paso del camino
Tener la fe que mueva los destinos
Fundir el alma en oro hasta adorar!
Y aunque no fuera rey sino juglar
o ave canora de los viejos pinos
que a fuerza de cantar sueños divinos
fundiera en un revuelo Amor y Amar
Y después de la entrega cielo-infierno
Mirra-fervor: la esencia de mi verso
¡Quién pudiera ser una flor de invierno!
Revolar en la luz del universo
Y en la gracia que emana de lo interno
Quemarme a fuego lento como incienso.

A luminous and deeply spiritual poem. The imagery is rich and reverent—moving effortlessly between humility and transcendence, devotion and desire. The references to Gaspar, the star, mirra, and incense weave faith and longing into something timeless, while the final image of burning slowly “como incienso” is especially haunting and beautiful. It’s a poem that doesn’t just speak—it prays, lingering in the reader like a quiet, sacred flame.

Beautiful Poem
Today is very special, we celebrate Three Kings Day with joy, gifts for children, and traditions that honor the Magi who followed the star.
It’s about faith, hope, and remembering that Jesus came for all of us. 👑👑👑 🐪🐪 🎁🎁🎁
