   This is my song. It was written 6 years ago, and now I've translated it into English.


               July'07


July brought the heat to open my window
The summer is past the middle
My sun, here I am, and again I wonder
Where you’re led by your needle

It’s terribly hard to carry on living
When every step is blind
I’ve just understood the role I was given
So risky
I never mind


Like in my sleep I am seeking for you
And losing myself again
So many places, people and views
Somewhere I have to begin

Crossing the night you‘re flying afar
The distance I can’t foresee
Whatever you do, wherever you are
I only wish you to be


I’ll master the science of seventh dimension
I’ll learn to unite the worlds
And what can we lose indeed?
Not to mention
Whom should we dread after all?

Nowhere to flee even if you endeavour  
The void is behind the door
But what is the void, since we share forever?
No bounds remain any more


Let both time and space separate us today
I’ll never be scared of them
And if you suppose an insuperable way
Remember the ones we went!

One day, I’m sure, will bring us together
It’s only the matter of time
I just fall asleep and somehow through the ether
I see you in foreign climes


The glow of the sky and the wind is blowing
I’ll tell you a secret of mine
Familiar to gods
All the children know it
Please, carry it
In your mind

All that you love is undying, my friend
Believe me
I know it’s true
You are not a pawn in destiny’s hand
The real creator is you!


The code of unbreakable lows for living
The map of the beaten track
So better to lose your mind than to hear
As others tell you to act

I stand on the brink of a precipice here
You are on another side
But since I can touch you, we’ll meet anyway
As soon as I learn to fly

You have a lot of optimism going for you within the structure of this poem, Gale. Even when the signs give your feelings of being  lost you seem to break out of it and look ahead, forward as she goes.

This is beautiful, Gale, but it worries me a little because forever is a long time to wait (taking into account your other poems).  Perhaps you are missing many opportunities around you, (better though you may not see it that way, now) for many things are not what they seem.

Thank you, Jerry and Owl,
I appreciate your interest in my stories very much.
I have to say only that all I write relates to my real feelings, and in spite of a very great role of imagination, I talk to a real boy, the boy who was my friend about 30 years, almost all my life. It's a very long time even for people much older than me. No, I'm not scared of time. And I've already got enough of fear )
So what can I say about chances and opportunities around me? Now I can't see any.
It's hard to explain,
and maybe it's the first reason why I'm here. I couldn't find any escape but writing poems and sending them to "somewhere".
Maybe you are my chance and opportunity now. Maybe not. I don't know.
But one way or another thank you for reading!
