IN THE DARK DAYS AND YEARS GONE BY

In the dark days and years gone by

You cannot see more a way

To give the essence of things to philosophers.

And it is not clear what we expect,

Whether we are able to reach depths again,

Or quietly live under the trembling aspens?

Will someone need my job,

Or nobody will find my lost tracks?

So it's time to say goodbye!

RUSSIA

Mountain stood for Millenniums,

Hard storms and winds raced,

Grains of sand disappeared,

But mountain stood proudly!

Year after year, eroded cliffs,

The sand accumulated

At the foot of the mountain,

The tornado blew with an animal grin,

The torrents of water

Cut off from the rock grains,

Littered bottom of unfamiliar rivers,

Erased in memory overgrown paths,

Not seen was guiding milestones...

Since then, there is no point in the battle

With the elements,

All obey the devil's game?

To forget of Millennial Russia,

Do not think about the dawn in the dark night?

THE HORSES RUN AT A GALLOP

The horses run at a gallop,

You cannot hold the reins now,

What chaos of floods,

Oh, the humanity, we are waiting for?

Surely again engulf the wave of the Flood?

Nobody will get out of the flow,

If EACH nor understand it!
