Silvia, what beautiful words... so filled with peace. I took a workshop once, on the topic of "The Healing Power of Nature," and your poem takes me back there... and in the end, I am reminded why I so often tell people that "Nature is my Church."

The pic is excellent as usual and the poem is wonderful; it made me feel I am walking in there with you and feel what you have felt. Thank you so much !

Many thanks for your nice comments!. I've written this poem as a celebration of the divine feminine quality present in nature and also in every human being. It's everywhere, we just have to open the eyes and the heart.
And I love that park since I was a little girl, there I did my first steps :-)

So you must feel at home in that park, having taken your first steps there. Your very nice poem reflects this.

Hi Barbary, yes, you're right. I feel at home there, go there very often just to walk and find a bit of peace. Thank you for commenting :-)

HELLO SILVIA!!
Excellent poem the connection of earth and spirit is the magic of what we are, you intertwine the words and express the emotions of a heart and soul with the world of nature. I loved it:) Excellent poem and I could only wish I could write so beautifully:)

Excellent piece. It has a beautiful simplicity. I especially liked:
eternal witness of the echo
lost in the infinity,

Jose, thank you :-). The connection of earth and spirit sleeps in our roots. We forget about it easily as we get absorbed by the rush of life, but it's always there, waiting to be rediscovered. Hey, and you DO write beautifully!!

Paul, many thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like the poem. My English poems tend to be especially simple because of the limitations I have writing in a language that it's not my own. But in general, I like using simple words in my poetry, even in my native language. Probably the culprit is my scientific mind, thinking that I'm writing a chemical procedure instead of poetry hahaha :-)
