The Tree of Life is a lyric poem that follows the journey of an essence of life in different phases of existence, within the cyclical movement of universal infinitude. Touching on themes such as love, loss, self-renewal, redemption and the pursuit of dreams, Silva Neto uses the figurativeness of the natural world to delve upon the human condition, its paradoxes, and the broad range of variations and complexities which exist within each one of us. The poem is an invitation to the celebration of the beauty of life, and an exploration of the inherent human search for truth and meaning.
