Green Cathedral
Along the brown paths fringed by yellowed grasses
Where sun spreads in delicate buckles
Its glittery fragments in wavering carpets
Trees in honor guard, unlocks the forest
Walk gets slower, and body is grasped
By multiple smells and vivid tints
Of leaves, flowers and blooming bushes
Summer jewellery, in its apogee
The green cathedral opens to heart and soul
Giving all its wealth, of fine gold and light
Filling each fiber of ephemeral notes
With exhilarating perfume as from love, the charm
Such a beautiful invite and a real power
Who can resist to this call and retain to enter
Sounds seem then smaller, and in a tender impulse
Silence becomes close, only the choir
Of benevolent trees, moving barely their limbs
So that inside the sacred song dies
Minutes out of time, locked in the catching
Of countless gifts to my senses offered
Twirling of leafy, foam and heather
Wrapping all my being with a sheath of nature
In a sweet reverence to this divine hostess
I slowly recede, impressed by long songs
Woody fragrances and soft caresses
Which in my moved heart, I keep in secret
