.

Summer, sunlight, warm and calm
Berries in the grass
All the world is in my palm
Specially for us

On the surface of the lake
Covered with a mist
Neither doubt nor mistake
Ever could exist

Someone earns his daily bread
Being taught by God
Somewhere people, going mad,
Shed their brothers’ blood

As for me I take a chance
Spend my idle day
Staring high to catch your glance
Listening if you say

There’s no matter for complaint
One may spend and spare
I can be a holy saint
I can trade in shares

I can paint my life in verse
I can break or mend
All is senseless just because
Nought is in the end

Have no power to forget
What I am and seem
Like an asymptote of that
Which I call my dream

As if looking through the lens
At the changing shape:
Winter, darkness, iron fence
Nowhere to escape

Seems you have a poetical admirer. Can't hardly blame him, you write exquisitely . . .

That's a truly highly significant poem, dear Galina. Most beautifully written and profound, a mirror of your soul.

In the apparently "idle" silence, when we just listen, there can be found channels that bring enlightenment.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, Margherita, for reading and for the nice comment!
I wrote this piece in July on my vacation which I spent by the forest lake, and it was quiet and peaceful time of my intense summer life )
