Breath of Life
Death, I do not want to die.
I want to live to enjoy the simple things in life,
To feel the sensations of a day,
And to love who ever I meet on my way.
Like a flash of lightining my life is passing by.
Passing so quickly that I have not felt it pass.
I lived as I was not living…
My own life.
Death, I want to live fully,
I want to enjoy my children as adults,
Offer my helping hand whenever they need it.
See a part of me in a born grandchild.
Death, I want to give myself to whom I love…
I want to feel, to love the simple things in life.
But, suddenly, I had an awful a dreadful feeling:
Can my life be decided by Death?
Going home. London, December 1989

ALWAYS THINKING
Breath of Life Full of curiosity one day I asked Life: "Life, who would I be if I wasn't who I am now?" I'm sure it wouldn't be known as Maria Lucia, Maria, Lucia or Lucinha... Maybe it could have other names, like Laura, Rita or Carolina! But with such different...

LOVERS IN LOVE
Breath of LifeI will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same force when Spring comes,Covering once more trees with newly born leaves,And bringing life to the huge flourishing fresh fields. I will cry out one day like a lover in love,With the same intensity...
