Príncipe Elfo

                                    

                                       Nascida no seio da floresta,

Rodeada de magia e ternura,

Nasceu no quente solo

A mais bela criatura.

De porte divino e esguio,

Esculpido a cinzel,

Que nem o mais dotado artista conseguiria

Pintar tais olhos de mel.

Uma sarda onde cada fada beijou,

Doce e risonha inocência,

Numa alma que mais tarde,

Não diria ser verdade

Clamar uma advertência:

"Não cedas ao coração,

Porque dele, padecem os fracos,

Sê verdadeiro e usa a razão

Ou na vida, só terás fracassos"

Com riso de príncipe gargalhou

E à razão lançou um escárnio:

"Se no coração não posso confiar,

Se tu, razão, és tudo o que me resta,

A minha alma fria fica,

E no Amor, nada contesta!"

A razão retornou,

Com a advertência nos lábios,

"Faz o que te digo jovem príncipe

Ouve o conselho dos Sábios!"

E o príncipe não ligou,

Ao que os Sábios quiseram ensinar,

E num dia de chuva e frio,

Louco e em desvario

Deu consigo a chorar:

"Oh razão que de mim se foi,

Leva este coração mal remendado,

Que quando sangra, esvai de mim,

Um amor que jamais será consertado!"

"Jovem príncipe foste avisado,

Agora, nada há a fazer!
Limpa as lágrimas e aceita o teu destino,

A isso, chama-se Crescer!"

Lost for the Stars

Did you ever wanted to just lay down on the fresh green grass, bathed by the moonlight and contemplating the stars?

So today, I closed my eyes, and since I had no place I could lie down I just pictured my little secret place by the night. I felt the wind on my face, a bit agressive but so full of life. The smell of wet winter leaves on the ground, the forest breathing all around me...And then...then I looked at the stars! And by God they were beautiful! I've never seen so many stars and so bright. Without the lights of the city, the sky at night can be really mesmerizing! I felt my body relaxing and sinking in the earth beneath me, still wet by the last few rainy days.

No clouds in the sky, just the sound of a sleeping forest and a majestic moon taking care of the sleeping world beneath it.

And just like that, in that brief moment of peace, everything felt right. I am where I need to be!

Stars whispering to each other, the wind getting cooler at every minute it went by. And then, time slowed down, the forest took a deep breath in and silence surronded me. A moment of pause, a moment to not think and to just taste the air around me. I dived in the imensity of stars and I got lost. Not a bad lost, not lost in the deep well, so many times visited...no, lost in the good way, in the way that you're floating on your life, seeing things happening, and, even though things are may not always be the way you want, you feel and you know that someday, will be your day, your time to shine, just like every single one of the stars in that beautiful sky.

Being lost for the stars, is the best way of being lost...
