To Believe

O garden green, your verdant mane,
The earth breathes warmth beneath our feet.
We need help now, more than ever –
Where kings rule, the meek must plead.

But nature whispers: see and feel –
Daisies, lilies, peonies,
Their blossoms rich, a vibrant field,
They frame life’s scenes we all can see,
And teach the art of living – free.

To trust beyond good fortune’s grace,
That wind won’t snap the tender stem.
All else will fade, without a trace,
Though chaos swallows all around the meek.

Saint Petersburg, 2017
