They say: Now you are free.
You can do whatever your heart and body desire.
I smile at my old, emotional side, full of passion for life,
enriched by the beauty of imagination.
I spread my wings in the shadow of the silver moon.
Looking at the castle of my life,
I see broken glasses, colourless walls, and an empty well that has dried up some time ago.
However,
I can find hidden treasures around the castle in the dim light of the past.
The ruby of my heart is transparent and untouched by the fog of time.
My diamond, rough to the touch yet solid,
is full of my shining truth.
I look down; the moon is tired and wants to sleep.
I smile.
I blow kisses at the castle below, full of enchanted childhood memories.
It is so bright, like the glorious days of my youth.
I look at the trees around the castle.
They reach for the moon, tall, strong,
and unwavering in their imagination, grace, and motherhood.
