Today was a day
like no other day
Today the wind whispered my name
and the clouds branded the sky
With accents of fire and gold
Ancient gold
I was eating clouds
and my essence
became
the lighter essence
that it is
A day of honoring
what has come to pass
and begin anew
what has always been
A day when
my lustrous heart
heard the rolling thunder
and began beating
in harmony
impregnated by silence
A day when time
became its opposite
and nothing
needed to be done
now or later
A day when the visitors
in my ear
were ancient sages,
lords and mermaids
unrestrained and unbridled heroes
of a never forgotten tale
A day beyond
good and evil
A day when heroes
dropped their bows
and arrows melted
in the sunset fire
A day when poetry
savored the wild flowers
of distant lovers
A day when the princess in me
died
with an overdose of beauty
and my soul knew
eternity
in a day
