LE PROFONDITA’ DELL’ANIMA

“The Depths of the Soul”
Poem

In the depths
of the soul
are kept
primordial energies,
unexpressed talents,
noble virtues.

In the depths
of the soul
there exists
the generative force
of life…
Sap that waits
to be seen
by the unaware being…

Only inner courage
grants the being
the strength to look
beyond the unknown
of oneself,
where what humankind
has always longed for
lies hidden…

The freedom
to live oneself
in full awareness
of everything…

Only when
the inner storm
becomes profound calm…
everything, as if
by enchantment,
will be revealed
to their
gaze.
