ESSENCE

And only a true poet
sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
He calls the people to follow him
to the country where the future lives.

There are no storms or thunderstorms there,
Any issue can be resolved.
There is only one law in the country -
Here everyone loves and is in love.

All around there are trees and flowers
of extraordinary beauty..
And the depth of the heavenly blue
lives in my soul from now on..

And early in the morning the sun's ray
will sparkle like an arrow from behind the clouds.
It will show the way to the land of dreams.
Our essence is in Love and Faith.

Author: Yuri Kolodinsky
