Восторг души невинной Проснувшейся от сна Преодолевшей силу И тренье Колеса. Не помню я дорогу, Забыла вязь причин, Узлы судьбы, невзгоды И холод черных зим. Источник-чистый, хрупкий Горит в моих руках И в сердце незабудки И ангел в небесах. Как ткань волшебной жизни Струится с пальцев нить В ней сила и бессилье Любовью миг творить. Pollin 27-05-2015
