The Poet

       What's the bad time for that lyric horse
       Of the gray-haired and weary poet.
       He would stop to be tortured and draw it
       But the need chatters close to his doors.

       But he can't understand up to now
       What's been happened with regular living,
       Where he needs to go for the forgiving
       Or to stay here just at the brow.

       Chorus:
       But he can't understand
       What to do? Where and how?..
       Where he needs to go for the forgiving
       Or to stay here just at the brow.

       Hungry thoughts fly and swim in distress,
       Boys throw stones close to glass and destroy it.
       But the Pegasus' run from the poet
       'Cause he's chosen the other address.

       But the time of decisions will come
       And the poet will live as the stranger,
       He will leave for abroad and the danger,
       But return for the death to his home...

       Chorus:
       But he can't understand
       What to do? Where to come?
       He will leave for abroad and the danger
       But return for the death to his home.

I rather liked your verse, Yuri, though it's gloomy enough. Such is Life and such is Fate: We always have to choose, and sometimes the choice is not easy, to say the least.
Let your Pegasus be always with you...

With utmost respect,
Valery

Of course, Valery. Everyone has the choice. But the fussy Pegasus can choose someone else when we think:"Move or not to move!"
Thank you very much!
Yours truly,
Yuriy
