The poetry of Maria Concetta Cormio watch everyday with his beloved memories and people, with the beauty of nature and with the presence, constantly, of God that goes with journey of life. The poet, in fact, is the author of a pilgrim, able to rediscover the inner silence and comunicate it.
The importance that is attributed to the poet's figure is celebrated in some poems of the collection, which clarify the role of these plays in the life of the writer. The poet is the one who writes 'the words of silence', which enters cautiously and almost unnoticed in the soul and life giving security and peace of mind:
They dance in the sky a thousand colors.
I leave all doubt to follow you,
There is a new flower
and intense peace.
Birth of a new day.
The poet is in effect an artist with the word describes what someone has 'painted' with brushes: 'plants, flowers and landscapes' and even 'the tenderness of love / and the infinite silence' (The Moon). As evidence of the completeness of the poet in the arts there are some images in the collection painted by author, that capture particular moments of the beauty of nature, helping the reader to visualize what the verses evoke with the power of words.

In lyric Hope the author says 'My heart seeks strength / and my pen / collects silent words.' And again, 'I write with pen / past / memories and illusions. / I find peace in you.' (In the evening): the poetic word finds its strength in the musicality and the eternity that results.
In an other poem reiterates the desire to compose verses despite the fatigue and pain that sometimes plague the everyday. The dark synonymous with pain contrasts with the light of the 'pen' of the poet, that conveys hope and love, through the smiles of the children and the 'song of creation.'Concetta Maria Cormio contains in poetry Life the issues that distinguish the anthology: the presence of finite and infinite, memories, joy and pain, friendship and love.
The opera A flower introduces an important issue, in other words the feeling that the sight of creation, represented in this case by a flower in the winter cold, cause in the author: 'A flower ... flore without perfume / and ice colors. / The thoughts go away / I recognize the joy '.
The joy alternates a feeling of nostalgia, sadness due to the absence of a loved one that you can not embrace.
