The song of changes

 THE SONG OF CHANGES


                Becoming  wild –
                is a process of disconnection.               
                Jose Ortega y Gasset

“A and B sat
upon the chimney”. . .

A – fell down,
B – soared away.

And thus concludes
our childhood play –

а tale we’ve cherished
through fleeting years –

now we find ourselves
in the Middle.

Should I have lingered
by the Silver Age,

amidst the ruins
of Northern Palmyra?

In our quartet of  “Muse & Co”,
like the Sufferer Job,

in KGB cells,
adrift in The Mystic Blue. . .

(. . .)

In my sober moments,
regret takes flight,

for why has God stripped me
of the will to fight?

I asked Him softly
not to make you stay,

against your heart’s desire
to turn and walk away.

Just be alive,
that’s all I implore,

and may God bless you
with love, evermore.
