A first flower of the day

After watching the documentary "A Life on Our Planet" by David Attenborough, who has dedicated his lifetime to exploring and understanding nature, I felt compelled to put my writings to use for this purpose as well. I began writing poetry in 1995 at the age of 15, inspired by a famous poem by Goethe that I read in our school book. Since then, poetry has gone through various phases in my life. My first volume is a "coming out" and an attempt to believe in myself. My second, which is in Portuguese, delves into self-discovery, while my third volume explores a new beginning and an unfulfilled yet fulfilled love. Since then, I have been writing constantly but have not found the time to organize all the poems. Yet, after watching the documentary, I realized I could do more. I want to write poems for environmental awareness. A few years ago, I also started a project with "positive poetry" to help people on their journey toward a healthy and sustainable form of self-love. These works will also be part of this new project. What should it be called? Maybe simply "Seeds of Sentience: Poems to Nurture Our Nature".

So, starting with this one here! I hope there will be enough time to nurture you with these positive poems from time to time!

A first flower of the day

A first flower of the day

In its own little universe 

Motivates its environment 

To smile and breathe with it 

My first hope for today 

Is that there's some hearing 

Some listening

To the love, nature has opened up for us.
