To the Basel city

When I saw you
for the first time in my life,
dear city of Basel,
leaving yours airport
I fell in love with you at once
and was enslave forever
by your beauty - deep, sharp and subtle.
I told  myself then
"its a dream descended to me,
come in my life out of blue",
and I wished deep in my heart
such happiness to my children, grandchildren
and other descender in future,
as if my soul reverberating with all of them,
in this wonderful instant,
when I entered to Basel city,    
inhaling yours fresh air deeply ,
where factory, cars, machinery,
working silently, without issuing of smoke,
and sky blue and clear pristine as in our jailoo,
high in mountain.
The flowing water in your river
crystal clear 
as people's mood
in other kind of currents
in "river of city crowd"
full with similarly transparent and pristine,
smiles of vendors, police,
when high standards of living
so coherent
with the same level of obliges
and every days duties,
trees growing and covering buildings,
dense forestry's environment,
balconies and windows of multi-storey houses,
covered by beautiful flowers -
there are everything admire me
and most of all
kindness and gentleness,
of yours citizens.
Swiss mountains, forests and lakes -
In fact, this country is the twin of Kyrgyzstan
but which is gone so far into future
from our obsolete and stagnant reality
and present time.
She knew that we were close relative
as brother and sister,
although  one of us
dragging out far behind in centuries,
trapped by outdated traditions,
Infinitely devoted to toys, fests
and other  ceremonies of spendthrifts,
suffering from splitting, dividing,
religious and alcohol abuses
and most of all from lack of knowledge and ignorance,
from greediness and corruption
of our government bodies.
Seeing and understanding  all of this
deeply and clearly,
and proceeding love and respect us
as brothers and sisters,
trying together to build a happy life,
bringing to us money wisely,
hearing carefully
our advice, practice, mindsets too,
I tell the world I got it as truly kyrgyz,
that heart of the West is a good treasure,
or even excellent source and cup of Grail
and we will never lost such chance and blesses
to create better future
when Swiss  helps us and assists
with such honesty and diligence,
when we often acted persistent
in our blind stupidity rude and crisping.         
Even if we stumbling in a past
and its illusions
Let's work together for the future,
A brighter future and luminous
which  I saw  in the city of Basel,
when I fell in love with this Western garden forever.
