ETERNAL TRACE
by Sorana Lucia Salomeia

I am nothing else
But your winged thought
That travels restlessly
Through the meridians of chaos.

My destiny is to live my days
And die just to be born again,
Walking like a pale silent ghost
Through tombs and clouds and drops of rain.

Always being lured by immortal dreams
I wander like a shadow –

I am the ghost of your restless mind,
Haunting you forever – day and night.

Life and death are both my touches –
I am the step you always take ahead
With every move, with every turn you make,
Trying to leave it behind.

I am the trace of your existence,
Love and hatred blurred into a nightmare –

The nightmare you sip and breathe
Each and every instant.
