Castle

I am in the indigo garden

Amidst the violet roses
And it seems to me
Everything's perfect
Dancing with my lilac girl
Around the coiling labyrinth
That spirals to and fro
Endlessly

I am so happy here
But I wonder
If other colours exist:
"Do you know other colours?"
"I do not care about it"
And for the first time
I turn to stare at the huge castle
Upon my garden of life
"Maybe someone will tell me about other colours...
Would you come with me?"
My lilac girl looks at me and cries:
"Please, do not go away from me"
"I'll be back very soon – I promise"

***

I knock the main gate

- No answer -

I cross the threshold:
It is black inside - ancient
And mouldy –
-There's no other colours at all,
You were right, my sweet lilac girl… -
I feel lonely,
So lonely deep inside,
I feel so cold,
strange and lost
Wandering in the empty corridors
Full of mischievous echoes
And the fear of dark
Strangles my soul…
I wanna getaway
But I can't find the right sense of direction

I hear the silence

I taste the dust I feel my mind I trust my heart

Until I break in a desperate cry!

***

And the castle's walls
Tremble and fall
As I run away
Without hope:
-I'll die without saying goodbye to the lilac girl-
Everything around me disintegrates...

***

I open my eyes

...Am I dead?

Around me
a barren and desolate land
Only a tiny black castle with a minute violet garden:
Under my touch
It becomes a storm of rainbow butterflies
That colours everything
Red, orange, yellow,
green and brown
filling my heart with joy

And then they change another time,
Into three cards
That fall at my feet

The spears of my destiny

Will I dare to read them?
