Sparkling Darkness ruled the realm of the night
Whenever the shadows whispered in the night
Unveiling secrets like little shining gems
While the moon was glimmering in the sky inhabited by spirits and stars
Surrounded by clouds and hazy images
Magnificence made every flower bloom in the secrecy of the night
Only when the mystery was enlightened by candles for those who dared to venture into the kingdom of chimaeras and enigmas
Where nothing could have been revealed effortlessly in the daylight to mortal sights
I was proceeding with an unsteady step as I felt the sparkling darkness opening the path to me, with flying dragons chaperoning me at the magic light of lanterns
The delightful flowers I encountered brightened like glistening luminaries that captivated me with their exquisite scent and unique beauty
Enchanted castles and precious gems were not just visions but the manifestation of my extravagant dreams
I have become the queen of this supernatural and bewitching realm that came into existence from my nocturnal imaginations
Every desire I have always coveted dearly became tangible as my fantasy had transformed into reality
In this infinite darkness of my cherished dreams, nothing was impossible, and my extraordinary fate never ceased to surprise me
There was no uncertainty nor fear in this world of mine, where I could feel safe and protected
Gargoyles made of ancient stone came to life to breathe magic and infinity
While the cool breeze of the night softly stroked my long hair, enfolding me like a delicate shawl made of lace and tulle
The sparkling darkness that bore fear for the ordinary mortals had become my secret haven, where nobody could ever have found me
Invisible as I was to the human gaze, but visible to the mythical creatures attending my journey
And therein I remained, as I was embodying the darkness and the night
Unknown was my future since my dazed destiny had paved intricate routes for me to traverse
Like in an endless journey where I was embracing every pristine and bizarre novelty
There was more to come and nothing to fear any longer
Because there was no beginning or end anymore.
