Fulfilled Dreams

 

A few magical cases I remember,

from the planet of childhood floated -

it was nonchalantly and cozy

behind the broad and strong father's back.

 

Our friend from exotic Armenia

with a white suit and a gold watch -

on my hand he placed it

and flew away with angel wings.

 

People and animals with first flights

in space, to the lunar surface and back –

the globe spun happily

in star rhythm with all humanity.

 

The mythical robots set in motion -

the father's former gift reincarnates

the fantastic dream of being ourselves

with peace and love in the next century.

Traveling

 

I turn white among the scattered leaves

in journeys of the thoughts.

My friend, guru, brings me back

in Tibet when I have been a shaman in another life.

And I'm a screw. A wheel. And humanity.

God's spark found me.

I believe in the high symbol

on the blue planet.
