The first empress

ENYA – May It Be

It was a new house, she has been living, in.

The Glass House had one positive element.

No one in the world was able to see her.

As if it was in her wish, all four winds leave

in the East and come in the North.

It was, almost, the same as in that newest song

she saw, in the fourth village. Late, in the afternoon

the Sun was reflecting her victory, in the water nearby

the street and she heard no sound. It is good, to look

at the water of waters and break the lost forgotten silence.

But she never gave bread to the ducks

because she was too late, she had no chance, at all.
