MY PEOPLE
If my people used to be Uzbek,
Kyrgyz and Russian peoples,
today the whole world has become my people
it was not I who decided so, but Allah decreed so.
And if it pleases God,
I have enough love for everyone
and the strength to protect everyone
bring them together
and love each other from the heart.
I will teach them how to protect each other,
in this perishable, moonlit world
and not destroy each other.
For in us is a common Enemy: TIME,
which sooner or later will outlive us all
for IT IS ENDLESS !!!
Live in friendship and peace my people –
HUMANITY!
TRANSFORMATION
Soul suddenly began to write in English,
And the heart began to dance in Indian.
I learned how to breathe in Japanese suddenly
I learned to love: in French – to sleep.
I learned to compose a verse in Chinese,
He became truly Mongolian friends.
Greetings – in Italian, hug,
And in Albanian, in Romanian to be kind.
Sometimes in Dutch it’s pure to think,
And in German exactly, punctually live.
I live in Uzbek, Kyrgyz, yes,
In Russian, I dream of being Pushkin!
A MEETING
Today I had a poetic meeting
with the birds.
They sat under the roof of my house:
doves, pigeons, sparrows, starlings and crows.
I read poetry this winter time.
They listened carefully
my poetry.
Their faces reminded me of people's faces,
who sat in a huge, spacious,
bright room.
And how charming they were.
Their eyes sparkled
burned with delight.
Among them, I saw mom dad,
the deceased brothers
relatives, friends.
It was very cold in the yard
but incredibly light.
Because under my feet lay
big white snow.
And the roofs of the houses were
under a white feather hat.
And my meeting took place!
With the world, with nature.
I met her closest in her
me people.
And he was very HAPPY!
I warmed their hearts with my warmth.
