Esta noite sonhei com o Sol e tive uma iluminação quando ele me disse: «Eu acredito em Ti.»
A Rosa Amarela iluminava-me e eu estava ali, existindo de luz. E através da luz, rodeado de mundo, uníamo-nos, eu e o mundo. E no mundo, apesar da distância que nos separava — a mim de ti — também tu lá estavas. Separados sim no mesmo mundo — tu no teu corpo, eu no meu — mas sob o claro reconhecimento do mesmo signo solar. Ambos descêramos dele, dependurados nos seus raios, substanciados deles, para virmos fazer na Terra a luz etérea com que ele nos insuflou de espírito, para que nos elevássemos de amanhecer e disséssemos, já com a voz que nos é própria, Eu acredito em mim.

This text is part of the artistic photobook named "Blumen" (Flowers, in German), by the photographer Irene Cruz, presently living and working in Berlin. She invited me, without knowing me personally or even being able to guess what to expect from me as a writer, to even so create a poem in Portuguese (language wasn't also a barrier, as she saw it) to be part of the said work. The process went the same with the other writers/poets partaking the project. Each one - from several nationalities - writing under the influence of two or three of her photos, which, all together, coumpounds the photobook. My series was called "Sol". This was precisely Irene's idea: to risk. I accepted the risk as well and, three days later, the text above was given birth. The book is ready and can soon be acquired via internet.
