To the painting Foreteller

Дитрих Липатс
This little lion is my pet,
He loves and guards me
In the present.
He doesn’t like
Those moments when,
The future opens
In my crystal ball.
In the reflections I can see
Myself as a woman
Of quite so many talents,
That brought me fame,
Success, and wealth
About which I couldn’t even dream.
It all is shown there but…
My little guard, my little lion
No longer is with me.
That’s sad…
