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 2007-2013 [This message has been edited by Gale (06-22-2013 04:48 PM).] |

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. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

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. Owl |

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! |
