A beautiful stairway
A beautiful stairway...
Made of bricks, rustic,
So old the moss has already taken hold
At the top, I se door...
And I am wondering what there is behind it.
A garden? A house?
An empty and solitary little piece of the world?
I go up the stairway, slowly
And I place my hand on the lock...
The door opens up..
Behind the door I perceive a great garden,
With an abudance of trees, flowers, birds,
And a big pool of water.
It is wonderful, a world forgotten by man,
however renewed continually by nature.
The sun iluminates the greatness of the place
Flowers of all colors are mixed,
Only nature can be so perfect.
Where the presence of God is in all the living things.
It is good to be alive!!!
