I am the fruit of a tree
You are here: Home / I sing Amazon Forest

I am stone and I live in every corner

I am a bird an I do not know the winter

I am alive and want them to know it
the rain’s dampers, the heat and the wind’s freshness

I am air, water and I come from the bowels of the earth.

I am the fruit of a tree.

Márcia Theóphilo, 1976
