You didn’t want to see the light it was unloved to you
But don’t regret, in place of you I see the world on full
I learnt and tasted it, so sweet… You reeked with sweat —
I took my ease…
And it all right, but only thing disturbs me here and there
If you go out of this world I’ll stay and live then in distress?
While you were sick recourses finished, and the world is not
so sweet I have seen all, I know enough…”
And beaver dreamed about light so shining in his eyes,
has shed a tear and shuffled off this mortal coil
Fox cried about her poor life, and run on the way of living…
Someone is coming to amass but not to see the life,
And others fill with nausea…
And they regret that hadn’t learn
That golden mean… It is the essence…
Two earthworms
Two earthworms lived in the nasty ground and only saw the dark
One day decided to compete and organized a race
And where? Just above the ground! All jokes aside!
And our sportsmen have crept out… exclaimed a little and start!
This way they run and then they creep and dreamed of finish line!
But fifteen minutes passed away… there is no end, no middle,
There is too hot in endless road and earthworms lost their force
And one of them talked to another: “What kind of fool was I!
I have forgotten that light isn’t nice to me… it’s very hot,
I lose my forces!
Perhaps, we should return or otherwise, we’ll die”
“My friend, I see, you are weak! But you had taken dare!
Stick to your guns! And keep your word!
Don’t ache and look at me!
I will arrive the first, you can be sure of it! It always
happens in this way the Earthworm bears the palm
and raises speed, and suddenly he saw a bar…
It was so unexpected!
The road was clean! It is no doubt! The worm has raised the head
And suddenly he flew to heaven… From loss of consciousness
and forces he dreamed he has the wings and yet achieved his goal!
Another earthworm saw the truth that happened with his friend…
Black raven caught him by the pounces and carried him away,
He was so frightened and the lump has risen in a throat…
Where is way out?
It is no start and even end – just sunburned in the sky
The depressed earthworm passed away. It’s hard to live alone
Without motivation, without a friend who was an example
and helps you how to act the earthworm sighed, his tears slid,
he lost the faith in life…
The sun was ruthless, the source of life,
and loved earthy creations…
And our athlete didn’t stand the troubles of destiny…
We create idols and copy them…
Let them rule our life…
But once we lost them, it retired
And what will do alone? Will you follow for him on death?
Lion, Elk and Raven
One day the Elk has his name day and called Lion and Raven
He lays the table in a good mood and waits for dear guests
Raven came and Lion came and they sat at the table
Elk ply them with exotic dishes and appetizing food
This dish was cooked of high-grade grass, it grew up on the fields
It’s very healthful for your pressure and for your heart of course
There is hay in front of you that was correctly stored
It’s depository of health and plant protein is
I eat it for my muscles and bones and then have energy
I run and jump like a machine. It’s salad of dandelions
It is spinach and racy sprouts, my dear friends, let’s eat!
Lion and Raven exchanged their glances and gazed both at the Elk
And Lion said: “My dear Elk, I eat no hay no straw
I only can sleep on the grass, but I don’t eat a hay!
You make a fun of us!”
“What kind of humorist you are!” – said Raven,
“I can eat one of seed but I don’t eat hay from birth
and I apologize!”
The Elk got upset and said “My dear guests, how it can be?
This food is very useful! And now it’s on fashion!
I tried to astonish my guests and all dishes were very hearty
What do you eat?’ – he asked the Raven ‘It’s only carrion
and dirt! And you, my Lion? Please, don’t judge! I cooked the best
for you look at the dishes, how much for health and body they’ve
contained Raven can’t stand more: “My Elk, what do you say?
How dare you tell me in such term and call names on my food?
I’ve eaten it three hundred years and I am in good health!”
And Lion adds “I agree with Raven and I don’t understand
Your goal of gathering us here. Is it your name day or teaching?
I eat meat all my life and it’s my food. I will not be the Elk!
I’m Lion and I’ll die as Lion! Whoever heard of such a thing?
That Lion eats hay? We need to go, sorry us, Elk
This dinner finished. It can’t be continued
Let’s go, my Raven, otherwise we can let out at!
Nature gifted us a life, we all are different and unique
The tastes differ. The harmony is born in wisdom.
