“Snow-wrapped mountains and blue lakes. Skies, as if dreams of the soul. Skies, as if childish eyes.
I was alone. You were with me When I was hearing the lake’s whispers And glazing into the transparent distance- There rose in me your holy vision’s old longing, Star-filled, infinite.
Calling, calling in the snowy mountains Someone was calling for the sunset of longing And the night was falling, covering the distance By mingling my soul into the starry darkness…”
