Lee la versión en español al dar click aquí: De la Piedra; un Milagro
Words flood us with their foam;
those that you dream, those that you live,
those which flood desire,
hopes,
memory,
sure, jealousy is also constructed of words,
but love… love arises sometimes as a miracle,
from the stone,
and turns it into cascade.
The poem “From the Stone; a Miracle” is a beautifully crafted exploration of the interplay between words and emotions, drawing the reader into a meditative space filled with elemental imagery. Its title suggests elegance and an unexpected nature that sets the tone for the piece. The sensory opening, “Words flood us with their foam,” captures a sense of overwhelming emotions and thoughts, inviting the audience to consider how language shapes their experiences. The poem’s structure is intentionally sparse, allowing each idea to breathe and resonate, effectively highlighting the contrasts between abstract concepts like dreams, desire, and hope, and the grounded image of transformation from “the stone / and turns it into cascade.”
A poignant line, “but love… love arises sometimes as a miracle / from the stone,” evokes traditional themes of metamorphosis, suggesting a deeper transformation akin to alchemical or spiritual rejuvenation. This evokes a layered contrast between the constructed nature of language and the primal essence of love, hinting at love’s capacity to transcend articulation. Additionally, the juxtaposition of jealousy as a construct versus the organic flow of love introduces depth to the poem, implying jealousy is a narrative product, detached from the direct experience of emotions. The themes of transformation through love, the mental construction of jealousy, and the limitations of language resonate within the broader poetic traditions, reminiscent of figures like Rilke, Neruda, and Sappho. However, the metaphor of love emerging from stone to become a cascade stands out as a uniquely expressed idea, capturing the profound and miraculous nature of love’s transformative power.
