Out of nowhere, suddenly,
The sound of music rained on me,
Washed away the dust that covered me.
Approaching like a wave with a powerful roar,
It swiftly crashed against my shores,
Gently caressed the defenseless walls
Of my lonely soul.
Each note trapped inside a piano,
Rolled like a marble ball,
Falling on a glass,
One-by-one they joined the gala of
Dancing Iguaçu Waterfall.
Something collapsed in me and opened a door…
It seemed like the breeze was the master of chime-bells
And along with the Angels,
Conducted the orchestra hidden in my cells…
The breathtaking tune of sweet violins
Stretched from the Earth to Heaven,
Penetrated into my heart and rushed through my veins.
As a single note, I’ve merged into the whirlwind
And lifted through the air,
Through the musical stairs, I got closer to her,
Aphrodite’s chair.
Like a river, her passion was flowing everywhere,
The music was the witness and carrier
Of her love into our life’s affairs.
There is more to this life and more behind the door,
More than our minds can comprehend and absorb,
And the spirit of the music was one of the keys
That opened the door.
