Matilda of Tuscany

A long-term commitment
To God, to His light,
To the depth and emptiness of the sky,
To eternity
And fabulous glory.

She is a lady in dark-red,
Part of royalty
And yet an avid reader,
An agile thinker.

She listens to the silence
And hears cries of the wounded,
Sighs of the forsaken.

The Castle of Bianello
Is the place of her triumph
And spiritual growth,
And her names will go down in history -
Wealthy and down-to-earth, pragmatic
And graceful.

The wind in old castles
Still whispers her name -
Matilda of Tuscany.
