Life is a Story

Beyond land and time, 

under the glance of the Divine, 

as the voices of the wise reveal, 

this is no fairytale or legend, 

but a truth not to conceal. 

There, where magic and reality entwine, 

he who listens will apprehend 

this contemplation which may transcend.

The righteous king or the imprisoned princess, 

the noble knight or the unfortunated beggar, 

the impish jester or the wicked enchantress 

they all are masks, symbols so far, 

as every tale speaks indeed 

with messages, the seed 

of life, the way it is.

Protagonists of our own story, 

every step, a gracious movement of the quill, 

each day, a page in the book's will, 

being this world a library 

which shelves whisper the adventures 

that occur in the hidden myths,  

containing thus the spirits 

of the characters of every kingdom still.

Romances, tragedies may be found, 

tales of justice or mercy perhaps abound 

treason and conspiracy, journeys and battles, 

every type of anectode could appear 

under the gleam of the candles. 

Explore, live, have no fear, 

as life is a tale, a story 

in which you encounter both failure and glory.

Because our tale would not take place  

without a dragon to defeat  

or an evil witch to face, 

and the daily miracles 

we could not appreciate 

had not the obstacles 

interfered in our fate.

Losses, tears, they are not a mistake, 

they are the shadows in our way, 

that teach us how to be brave 

while the joys and smiles of the day 

will not forsake 

the hopes and dreams  

of those who wish to save.

Feelings and emotions, 

sensations and thoughts, 

echoes of destiny, companions 

of the directions chosen along the odyssey 

where anything is possible 

if you listen to your heart, 

have faith and liberate your imagination, 

the truest art.

Even in the darkest moment, 

lost in the depths of a forest 

or wandering under a starless sky, 

do not ever resign...

Because our tale would not take place  

without a dragon to defeat  

or an evil witch to face, 

and the daily miracles 

we could not appreciate 

had not the obstacles 

interfered in our fate.
