Helping God

Gardens

People who plant a seed or a tree

assist nature to reproduce the mystery of life

for no other purpose than to slightly

expand the beauty of the earth.
 

Gardens are spirit-inspired creations,

as ancient and disseminated as humankind. 

Gardens are manifestations of souls

that yearn for the sensual love of nature.


A garden is a parcel that reproduces the joy of life

It doesn’t matter if it’s a plant in a can

on the window of a dilapidated apartment


                             or

a pristine yard of a castle, both are

landscapes borne by the desire to breed beauty.
 

Gardens are the goods of humans and nature

working with magical colors, forms and fragrances. 

Gardens flourish when people play at being creators

and, while playing, become part of god.

¡Qué preciosidad, Carlos!
Creo que cada jardín es un reflejo del alma poética que todos llevamos dentro. Unos la reflejan en versos, otros en un pentagrama, otros en flores.
Todas las líneas son preciosas, pero me quedo con tu maravilloso final:
"Gardens flourish when people play at being creators and, while playing, become part of God"
