Entre las sombras del viento

y en el infierno.

Las esperas eternas

de cuerpos que no tienen dueño.

Estatuas en invierno,

tristezas y amarguras.

Olvidadas en la nada,

crudos son sus sueños.

Sueños borrosos

lleno de fuego y misterios.

Misterios confusos

perdidos en el silencio.

The faun (Latin: faunus, Ancient Greek: φαῦνος, phaunos, pronounced [pʰaunos]) is a mythological half human–half goat creature appearing in Ancient Rome. The goat man, more commonly affiliated with the Satyrs of Greek mythology or Fauns of Roman, is a bipedal creature with the legs and tail of a goat and the head, arms and torso of a man and is often depicted with goat's horns and pointed ears. These creatures in turn borrowed their appearance from the god Pan of the Greek pantheon. They were a symbol of fertility, and their chieftain was Silenus, a minor deity of Greek mythology. - Wikipedia sourced.

I am not what you see or must be

This mask is you

Lady Godiva (1897) by John Collier

Godiva, Countess of Mercia, was an English noblewoman who, according to a legend dating at least to the 13th century, rode naked – covered only in her hair – through the streets of Coventry to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation that her husband imposed on his tenants. Everyone was told to stay indoors and shut their windows, as she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation and was struck blind. Some historians have discerned elements of pagan fertility rituals in the Godiva story, whereby a young “May Queen” was led to the sacred Cofa’s tree perhaps to celebrate the renewal of spring.

A veces nuestro destino asemeja un árbol frutal en invierno. ¿Quién pensaría que esas ramas reverdecerán y florecerán? Mas esperamos que así sea, y sabemos que así será.

- Johann Wolfgang Goethe
