Poetry addressed to anyone who wants to read this.

"You are standing here among the wood
Maria so alone
but rarely that a human being
this passes by.

Sometimes put a bird cage
sits down next to your statue
and then sings it very beautifully
his song in honor of you.

Sometimes a flower unfolds
in the grass and moss are buds
and it smokes at your feet
its soft scents.

And in the evening like the sun
yields to the falling darkness
a worm then ignites
for you its shining light.

Oh leave Mary then
my poet too, how small
but for me it comes from the heart
You are a prayer."
