L'hort d'en Pollet

Només els ulls completen el cicle tants de cops iniciat i abandonat... Propòsits?  Quins propòsits?   ( Miquel Martí i Pol , Ara que l'any s'acaba..) Més enllà  de temors i recances, s’obren sempre blaus horitzons... Res no pot desviar-nos del curs del riu del viure, però basta la voluptat d’estimar perquè l’aire dringui a cada mot i s’allargassi  l’eco que ens fa, si més no, perdurables. ( Miquel Martí i Pol , Ara que l'any comença..) Amb esperança, Feliç 2016 !
