Infinite

The eye always looks for a well that can satisfy the heart, but then dwelling in the "here and now", he sees the beauty, the color, the "presence". This opens up the emotion, to be grateful for the simple
and silent and hidden from the infinite becomes luminous and living by shining the heart of a new breath.

The Infinite

These solitary hills have always been
dear to me.
Seated here, this sweet hedge, which blocks
the distant horizon
opening inner silences and interminable distances.
I plunge in thought to where my
heart, frightened, pulls back.
Like the wind which I hear tossing the
trembling plants which surround me,
a voice from the inner depths of
spirit shakes the certitudes of thought.
Eternity breaks through time, past
and present intermingle in her image.
In the inner shadows I lose
myself, drowning in the
sea-depths of timeless love.

G. Leopardi
