Interview with Florencia Burton: Part Two - "The Poet and the Harpist"

Pleased to share with you another insights of this wonderful artist as an extent of  my previous Interview with Florencia Burton: Part One - "The Visionary Artist"

Celtic Sprite: "We know that you honor the healing spirit of music and instruments. ... do you feel more connected to the Celtic root on this creative aspect of yours?."

Florencia Burton: "I feel my Celtic root specially when I evoke our sacred woodlands ... and the wind that cradles its leaves in hundreds of hues that flicker and whisper stories, dancing and singing. There I find the libraries, the registers, the melodies ..."

Celtic Sprite: "How do you remember the moment when the magic of music catches you and you felt connected to the harp?."

Florencia Burton: "Memories ... very deep memories in the soul ... the precious moment when you find the portal that opens a whole frequency of codes that surrounds you when you play the harp!."

Celtic Sprite: "While you are experiencing the creative leap, you have shown on the networks that you listen to music. ... The same perception occurs when you play the harp or the lyre? I mean...do you feel the music as evocative of colors and landscapes?."

Florencia Burton: "Awe yes! this is why I am also into poetry and writing to describe those paths of the Soul ... music transmits geometry and colors to me, it could be reflected in abstracts and emotions ... Not only landscapes and atmospheres ... In a higher reality, everything emerges from the vibrant creative essence, and here we perceive that all our senses act as different channel."

SAMPLE POETRY

The Voice of the Great Forest

Go through every corner of your universe,

feed on every drop of experience ...
That there are no places without being felt ...

flood each space with your presence ...

within you.

Within your limits.
And when you feel it, you rise ...

raising the content through your gaze ...

to be seen from the whole ...

Spirit eagle, my Being merges into your form ...

You take me high and show me ...

I am the wings, I am the vision ...

... immersed in the reflection of your gaze,

the entire forest flies with you and sees itself from above.

Autumn melody

The birds are whispering, flying  now to their nests
Water streams attenuate their voice

The old trunks are flutes of the wind
Breath of the sky runs through the corners
The sylphs dance the melody of Autumn…
The earth plays her drum

The foliage sighs… its leafs lie down
Rusted blankets will weave the fairies
With orange threads of sunset

Eyelashes close caressing the ground
and happy they fall asleep to the Sun lullaby
that shines from afar with a warm goodbye

Green Blood

Green blood runs through my veins

Threads of Light run through the arms that braid the forest
Ancient arms ... brother arms
Drops of water reflect the sky in their soul

Warm mantle covers the ground, bare roots you will never find
The leafs of the eternal books shelter them, Fall after Fall.

The wind blesses whispering ...
the secrets of the farthest corners to all the trees arrive

Their emerald hair shakes and dances ...
the pink clouds greet, far away the Sun smiles closing its eyelids

They give way to the cosmic fireflies ...
to dance now on the deep dark blue mantle of the Night

Trees ... their hidden faces hide other faces ...
worlds within worlds… mysteries that laugh and play
