The Moment of Return

  Based on the poem
«Миг возврата»
I have made this  translation.
To live in peace, we must go to the very edge —
To the point of no return.
Then we’ll understand: the moment of return may never come,
Use your mind, let reason enter in —
What we’ve gained now cannot be brought back again.

That bitterness can fade away, believe me — it will,
When you feel the balance deep inside,
Not money, not resources, but spiritual purity,
Restoring the true face of a human being —
One who can understand and solve the world’s strife.

Try to proclaim yourself a messenger,
A peacemaker — this is your true path.
Stop and comprehend: all that you’ve acquired,
May suddenly prove too heavy — loneliness will shatter your life.

But we all know: God has His own plans,
If you won’t submit, you’ll be subdued.
But this is a different chronicle,
A story… a fate…
