TRANSCEND
(excerpts)
No need for words
...
The heart "senses"
and the soul "hears."
...
My translucent
spirit
escaped from its
human cage.
transcends:
and touches you.
RESCIND
(excerpts)
...
The universe of my emotions
cannot be
encompassed by a mere
breath of words.
...
Solar eclipses
darken my world
when you anger.
Comets shoot
across the sky
of my humble heart
when you smile.
The scorching
(almost blinding) heat
of a sun when you love.
...
TRANSCENDENCIA
(excerpts)
No hay necesidad
de palabras
...
El alma "oye"
and el corazon "siente"
...
Mi espiritu invisible
libre de su jaula
ques mi cuerpo
transciende:
haciendome llegar
a ti.
RESCINDIR
(excerpts)
...
Un suspiro de frases
no puede contener el
universo de mis emociones.
...
Eclipses solares
obscurecen mi mundo
cuando te llenas
de ira.
Cometas brillantes
pasean el cielo de
mi humilde corazon
cuando sonries.
El calor ardiente
y deslumbrante como el sol cuando amas.

"Inspiring poetry, evocative of life's most remembered moments."
--The Book Reader, Fall, 1995 (vol. 8, #2), p. 39.
"Galván does not attempt to solve the riddles; she
realizes that such an attempt would leave one floundering in
futility. She simply conveys deeply felt, universal feelings through
her poetry."

p. 60.
