Through the glass


Saturday was my birthday.

47 years old, not feeling old at all.

Happy, happy day. Love. Loads of love, laughter, fun.

A jewel at breakfast. Out for dinner. Hugs, kisses, everything I wished for.

You make my life sweet and I am no longer afraid nor sad.

All those who really matter were present even in their physical absence, in one way or another, those who care made my day special. Thank you.

Love reveals our true selves. Love conquers everything.

Though the glass of love, the monster becomes a girl, again… 

Tea is served, time to be happy, at last.

The daily battle


She looked frail and delicate but inside she had the strength of ten tsunamis.

She could die a million times but her voice would still be heard though out time. 

Making her enemies shiver, her tyrants stumble.

Nothing she could do would ever be enough.

Nothing is enough in a world like this.

She was tired that day, but she picked flowers on the way home.

Battle was not over, there was a war to be won.

It was she and herself. And the mirror.

Flowers and swords.

No fear, no anxiety.

Just another day to give all she got.

And she did.

*****

Ela parecia frágil e delicada, mas por dentro ela tinha a força de dez tsunamis.

Ela poderia morrer um milhão de vezes, mas sua voz ainda seria ouvida embora fora do tempo.

Fazendo seus inimigos tremerem, seus tiranos tropeçarem.

Nada do que ela pudesse fazer seria suficiente.

Nada é suficiente em um mundo como este.

Ela estava cansada naquele dia, mas ela escolheu flores a caminho de casa.

A batalha não acabou, há uma guerra a ser vencida.

Era ela, contra ela mesma. E o espelho

Flores e espadas.

Sem medo, sem ansiedade.

Apenas mais um dia para dar tudo o que ela tinha.

E assim ela fez.
