Motivo para escrever:
Rimas são o meu solar
Com a bela estrela guia,
Minha onda a navegar
E parar eu não queria
O dia que as deixar
(Ninguém foge a esse dia)
Farão pois o meu lugar
Minha paz, minha alegria.

Por mais velhinha que fosse
Eu gostava tanto dela
Da poesia tão doce...
Que deixou linda e bela.
A imagem fez um ano
Mais sete meses contei
Numa tarde fiz o plano
Com gosto eu a visitei.
Em Góis era sua morada
Que com Amor defendia
Com o brilho da Poesia.
Judite, sua afilhada,
Zela agora no seu lar
Por quem dela quis zelar.
Rosa Silva ("Azoriana")
Estava aqui a pensar
Se tivesse um avião
Eu podia aterrar
Junto ao nobre caixão
Onde está a brilhar
A poetisa da Nação;
Eu ficaria a chorar
Agarrada à sua mão.
Mas viagem não preciso
O tempo já acabou
Ela está no Paraíso
Como flor que lá chegou
Deve estar com um sorriso
Por tudo o que ela criou.
E fica o meu improviso
Na janela que faltou.
Seu corpo está presente
Na Terra que a criou
Na urna jaz somente
Uma flor que já murchou
Sua alma eternamente
Junto a Deus já se plantou.
E eu choro amargamente
P’lo poema que fechou.
Aquilo que não lhe disse
E o que fica por dizer
Queria eu que florisse
Antes do amanhecer
Muito mais queria que visse
Só além é que vai ver
A boa amiga Clarisse
Está com Deus, posso crer!

Caro Pedro Neves
Eis a ocasião festiva para lhe desejar uma ótima semana, bem como a toda a equipa que me / nos trata dos artigos bloguísticos com mil cuidados. É verdade! Agradecer é pouco. Louvar é melhor. Louvo com toda a palavra a vossa contínua manutenção e atenção. Uma Estrela, uma imagem de Presépio, uma Luz a piscar, um arco de verdura, um abraço penetrante, um cálice de alegria, fazem parte da quadra que nos visita. Seja feliz! Sejam felizes!
Ao SAPO nosso serviço
Atento à sua gente
Tem o meu verso submisso
Que me chega num repente.
Com palavras vos abraço
Neste dia, em boa hora,
O SAPO é o meu laço
Que dura pela vida fora.
Mas se a vida perder
Porque se perde num instante
Ficam agora a saber
Que o levem p'ra diante.
O blogue da minha estima
Numa idade juvenil
Teve berço pela rima
Que nasceu no mês de abril.
Se o Template favorito
Da equipa que me atrai
Vier novo e bem bonito
Do meu coração não sai.
Se acharem que o atual
Está bem sem mais defeito
Só resta: FELIZ NATAL
E um Ano com proveito.

Comentário in SAPO.Blogs
Que alegria é ver o percurso de uma amiga através de imagens aplicadas a folhas de calendários, cujo início remonta ao ano de 2003, nas suas passagens por várias ilhas e outros lugares do continente português e estrangeiro.
É com agrado que me vejo (e ao meus) em algumas imagens captadas na ilha Terceira. Tornámo-nos amigas e sempre que há oportunidade marcamos encontro a cada estadia na ilha. Muito obrigada pela delicadeza que sempre tem comigo (desde o ano 2008).
Basta seguir esta hiperligação para "I No Longer Like Chocolates" - Calendars.

Abençoada Conceição
Com o sol a iluminar
Gente que vai adorar
A sua Mãe de afeição.
Abençoa Mãe com tua mão
O perdão que tens para dar
À gente que tende a errar
Alivia e tem compaixão.
Maria do Nascimento
Sem mácula e com pureza
O Amor com toda a certeza.
Maria em lindo momento
Na festa da Humanidade:
Eis a Mãe da Santidade!

“On the Front Lines of Multiple Sclerosis,” by Rosa Maria Silva
Translated by Katharine F. Baker
Originally published in Portuguese at:

A true story based on personal knowledge, originally written to commemorate Portugal’s National Day for people with multiple sclerosis, 4 December 2018.
Multiple sclerosis was the disease that took my mother to the point of no response. For thirty-nine years everything was falling asleep... I understood what she said: “It’s a tingling, an anthill that’s taking over my whole body.” She was dependent on another person (her youngest daughter) for basic and essential care. She had lost almost all of her senses, including vision. Palpation would produce only the usual routine. She’d cradle her morning mug of coffee and milk, the spoon would go askew en route to her mouth, chewing or swallowing a necessary sacrifice, a poor procession of her hand to her leg with no strength to place her foot on the wheelchair’s footrest. In her final years (in her sixties), the chair was almost always replaced by her bed. The bed was the site of all the actions of her human body, a “dead” weight amid tears and prayers repeated mentally with the images of saints adorning the room. She believed devoutly in prayer, and in visiting Serreta’s Patron Mother the second week of every September, no matter what. Her highest priority was to hear and see the festa mass, with the Holy Mother on her platform, while seated very close to Her. My mother’s smile shone for that hour. The perfume of the season’s ornamental flowers inside the church made her face young and happy. I would admire the scene and withdrew into my silence. When would the time come that I could no longer view that scenario of instant happiness? During Serreta’s festa in September 2003, it was impossible even to think about taking her to the best representation of motherhood in the universe. The next month, on the 28th, she lost all movement. She had only her lips closed on an assistive device in order to access her machine-adapted meal, eyes closed to her ephemeral world, total pallor, a “sleep” that was hard to watch, and our prayer that God would hear it and grant her the peace she deserved.
Ever since, I’ve never liked hearing that expression “having multiple sclerosis” - it’s like remembering my sister, the best caregiver my mother could have had, in the sense that she had become accustomed to that scourge. How many, many times had the ambulance not been the surest and quickest way to take her patient (and mine) to the old Angra do Heroísmo hospital? How many, many times had the physical therapist helped her and taught her the best way to withstand falling when moving How many, many times had I wept inwardly over coping however I could, when a more aggressive treatment was deemed inappropriate because she was too sensitive to pain, wounds, and the sapping of the parts of her body that had given me (us) life.
To this day I think that it was my mother, Matilde Correia, whose suffering inspired my creativity in writing when I never had any before (I was a student not by choice, but out of duty). After her death I became a lover of words to the point of turning into an avid improviser. I leave proof in a book I have edited for future reference about our Patroness Mother, our village and my ailing mother, who always harbored an unshakable faith. That faith did not cure her, but it elevated her and healed me.

Comment from a reader I know who asked me not to identify him:
“Your mother’s life was for several years truly one of an authentic martyr, always watered with faith, that invisible force, which certainly helped her bear her tremendous cross. Your sister didn’t have an easy task either, and that, in order to deal with this type of illness, requires a total availability, and you, who were more on the periphery, were suffering in your silence. After your mother’s death, I believe that her spirit, at peace, was decisive in your intellectual transformation. Probably what you did from there was something she in life had always wanted to do, but could not, due to two limitations: literary knowledge, and illness.”
Comment from a communications professional I know who asked me not to identify her:
“A deep, moving text that mirrors the suffering of someone who has had the joy of being enveloped by love to the end.
In its form, Rosa’s writing is visual and intense, where the almost imperceptible recourse to metaphors makes us witness to the episode and carries us to the reality of her emotions.
For me, the spreading of these texts goes beyond their literary aspect.
Your mother’s life experience of being a bearer of ‘multiple sclerosis’ must be discussed, because it is in sharing situations like this that concern for the problem is spread.”
