When I will end

When I will end - like everything must end,
Like fading passions get with follies sorted,
Like values drift in the domain of mortals,
Like most important words remain unsaid,

When I will end, without a page to mar,
Then I will freeze in random recollections
Of wry delights in vivid self-deceptions,
Of masochism that's purified by art.

Or maybe not. I'll crumble to the ground,
With no regrets or memories to cherish,
The rotting flesh will join the chain of food.

I cannot know, while to the earth am bound,
I cannot change the outcome, sad or merry, -
But I can pause while walking through the woods.

Kris,
I really like the tone and melody of this piece.
It sounds like Tsvetaeva's...
Best,
Dina

Thank you, Dina!
If we don't touch base over the next couple of weeks, have wonderful holidays! I am heading to LA tomorrow, and my friends and I will go to Vegas from there... So, if I don't get a chance to say it at some other time - wishing you a very happy, creative, fruitful, peaceful or adventurous (or both, you choose) New Year!!!:)

Kris,
Sound like fun! I'm sure that your vacation will be a blast. I wish you all the best for your trip and beyond. Let's hope for a productive New Year! (2009 was a drag, at least for me.)
My vacation will be quiet. My men will be away skiing in Utah and I'll have time to recharge (sleep, jog, do yoga, purge my head and my house). My mom is staying with me during the holidays, so I won't be alone, but I will have tons of time for pampering.
With warmest wishes,
Dina
