In 2011, the author attended George Michael's Symphonica Concert in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain). While watching the show and listening to that marvellous voice, she felt she was touching eternity. A few years later, when she was told she had ovarian cancer and needed urgent surgery before starting chemotherapy, she knew she had to heal her soul before curing her body. She remembered what happened to her in Bilbao and listened to that concert CD before entering the operation room. The emotion, the love, present in George's voice gave her the strength she needed to go through that difficult situation. At the time she started the chemotherapy sessions she also started writing the poems compiled in this book. This book is dedicated to George, to Melanie and to all individuals persecuted because of their sexual orientation.
