Infinite
These solitary hills have been always 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 depth 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 see-depths of timeless love.
(Giacomo Leopardi)
I love this poem sooo much.
Have a nice weekend my friends!
Love

And it's just me, or the last line screams "Frodo and Sam love"?
I hope you're having a wonderful week end you too, hon! Mine is just perfect (friends, kitties and joy!)
*hugs you tight*

Your weekend sounds great and mine is absolutely lovely, too.
