"Even shattered into a thousand colors, beauty never ceases to reign."
It was born from the blue fire of memory,
cloaked in delirious brushstrokes;
its eyes, two elegant abysses,
guarded the silence of glory.
It was neither woman nor beast alone,
but the union of chaos and tenderness;
a jungle painted with madness
and a heart beating intensely.
Every color burned upon its countenance
like a wild and blazing garden,
like a living and overflowing lightning bolt.
Red was passion never asleep,
green the throbbing hope,
and gold the root of all life.
Its gaze pierced through the darkness,
like one who knows the pain of the world;
yet even so, deep and fertile,
it transformed shadows into stars.
And thus it remained engraved within *Ars In Umbra*,
eternal queen of instinct and harmony;
for the soul, when it burns in poetry,
can never feel defeated.
