The whispers near the lake are the voices of the Etruscan Gods who slept for two thousand years.
Maybe the beat of white wings woke them up, or the glass window broke, the glass broke the water, a broken looking glass.
We woke up in another world, on a black beach under the golden rays of a golden moon, where the song of a nightingale soars,
giving everything back to us
and more.
