RALU'S DREAM
One night, deep in sleep, Ralu began to dream:
She was born again on the shore of the Danube,
The latest witness to a sunset sky.
As she lay by the oft-remembered river
The wind gently carried her soul across the beauty of the land,
Delivering it to the divine wonder of the mountains.
A moment later she was inside Poenari castle,
Her heart like a candle guiding her through the darkened rooms,
Each eager footstep becoming forever carved into the stone floor;
On a distant wall was her medieval portrait
Into which Vlad's spirit gazed, clutched closely by the blue eyes;
As she called his name with love, he turned and smiled, then vanished,
Leaving her crying for him with her head in her hands.
When she opened her teary eyes, it was Winter;
She found herself kneeling in front of the Mount Caraiman cross
>Shivering through words of prayer.
A voice softened by snowflakes called out her name and said
"For every life you have brought happiness into, let new life grow"
And, with a glorious wave of colours and scents, a sudden Summer came,
Restoring a holy tranquility to her
While the dream scene switched swiftly again.
She appeared by the edge of the Black Sea
Watching the waves sway in mid-morning sunlight;
With lonely eyes, she made a wish,
Casting a heart-shaped pebble into the water;
Moments after, the sweet music of The Blue Danube began to play,
Conducting her thoughts with a melody of hope
As she awoke to another beautiful day in the land she loved so dearly.
Love attracts love,
And for each and every moment she had loved Romania,
That love would be returned to her.
