Saludos amantes de la palabra en Hive account@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

Greetings to all the lovers of the written word at Hive account@literatos; I wish you all the best this weekend.
In light of Holy Week, which has just come to a close, I’m sharing these verses with you—they speak for themselves.

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.
