The Geometry of Life

An unrivaled country path stretches onward, like a simple, beautiful maiden.
Across the silent expanse of grass
lies a skin that gleams with radiant light—
Flanked by the amorous gaze of palm and tamal trees.
Honey drips from the beaks of birds,
And with a mere reach of the hand,
One could touch the hem of autumn’s garment.

The farmer weaves dreams—
With a slender neck and a radiant form,
Golden fields held within his arms,
And lotus blossoms in his eyes.
The farm woman’s hair is like a line of poetry, Fluttering in the breeze, devoid of punctuation.
An ancient essence clings to her slender waist,
Her broad hips reminiscent of a harvest field. In her embrace with the earth,
A melody, known since the dawn of time, begins to resonate.

Along this very path, the farmer’s child hurries, Piercing through the morning sunlight—
An old towel-cloth upon his head, bearing the hue of a new sun.
In one hand, a spade; in the other, a sickle. Along this path, all weariness and every grievance fade away.
This earthen track is, in truth, his school of life.

Along this very path, the farmer’s young daughter traces patterns
With the dew—like alta painted on her feet.
The rhythm of anklets echoes in the ears of grain,
Keeping time with her every step;
Her spirited, carefree ways blend
Into the fallen yellow leaves.
Adorned in the ornaments of sunlight,
Her path unfolds toward the rising sun. Together, they compose the epic of life.
