While you are alive. Poems.

(for a prodigal son)

 

                I`ve got sick by some lousy
                unaware of it`s name.
               And died near the river   
               and all in my pockets was stolen 
               by old strangers while they`ve been
               they`ve pretended to be brave 


                I lie and blindly stare at rain.
                And clouds black as memory
                rush in the sky.
                O Lord, it seems, I was quite busy.
                It is him who did not remember about me
                nor in the afternoon, nor in the night.


               Indeed, if I would reach my home
               then everything would be different.
               I`ve had friends there.
               I would be covered with newspapers
               and would be mourned about
               by those like me.


               And my darling Gypsy girls
               would make tea in the jar
               while talking on
               How slushy and moisty,
               But the lodging over rocky bridge
               is good anyway.

 

            But God did not sleep and was not busy.
            While bowing to the earth Heavens has touch
            The hardened face.
            Rains and storms that all over the earth
            Are all shed tears of
            Heavenly Father


           Over the son, who has been killed by satan,
           Who has gulped down from the wash-tub.
           Over the successor of a King,
           Who has forgot his kinship and childhood,
           And precious legacy was
           Spent in vain.


           Seas and rivers of fatherly tears
           On everyone who has left forever,
           About the ones who vanished in the darkness.
           The ones who made the choice in passing
           And called an endless prison
           A freedom.


           I`ve got sick by some lousy
           unaware of it`s name.
           And my end has come.
           But if something else would come from it,
           I would rush Home as a wind,
           To say: Father, forgive!

 

                                                                   What fool I am! There was the time
                                                                   To come while there is strength
                                                                   To fall on his breast.
                                                                   And He would hug me tenderly:
                                                                   While you are alive - the hope is alive.
                                                                   I`ve forgave you everything. Forget!
