Плывут корабли облаков,
Пурпуром разсвеченны снизу.
И запах весенних цветов,
И ласточек стрекот под ними.

В молчаньи, под дубом столетним,
Сижу, наблюдая мгновений игру..
Как цвет, преломляясь на небе,
Творит в облаках красоты тишину.

Он тут же рождает картины,
Каких не опишет и кисть,
Они мимолетны и мнимы,
Живут лишь секунду, для бога и грез.

И вечер, наполнив индиго, до края,
Сменяет полет на летучих мышей.
Звезда одиноко восходит, сияя,
Пронзая лучом череду тленных дней .

И запах весенних цветов, И ласточек стрекот под ними. В молчаньи, под дубом столетним, Сижу, наблюдая мгновений игру.. Как цвет, преломляясь на небе, Творит в облаках красоты тишину. Он тут же рождает картины, Каких не опишет и кисть, Они мимолетны и мнимы, Живут лишь секунду, для бога и грез. И вечер, наполнив индиго, до края, Сменяет полет на летучих мышей. Звезда одиноко восходит, сияя, Пронзая лучом череду тленных дней . 2013 Pollin .
