Я растворюсь в объятиях твоих, Забыв путь ожиданий. Забудешь боль опавших крыл, Жестокость битв и кровь познаний, Испьешь ты жизни эликсир, Чтоб воспарить над мирозданием. Я обернусь голубкой белой, Воркуя песню бытия. И музыка излечит время, Вселенной вечное дитя. Мы шли к друг другу от начала, Веков мгновений, зыбких звезд. И лишь по сердцу путь узнали, В сад нежных, белых, хрупких роз. 28.11.2014
