Title: Infinite

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.

~Giacomo Leopardi
