First Born Snow

The snow fell, as it was born by Winter...

Trees in black naked beauty

Came singing a praise.

And hiding their gold, like greedy gnome

Is burying his treasure, dance snow.

Winter covered their frozen roots

With the pillow of tender haze,

Under which the grass fell into glassy sleep,

Entering generous bliss.

Mountains replied to me greeting the Queen

Of blowing winds and ice-crystal worlds,

And her flying servants that are never seen

Were carrying the leaves as they came on the Earth.

Whistling like trumpet on funeral act

Grey blizzard came releasing white snakes,

And myriad of warriors in sparkling white dresses

Were carrying the tongues of the saints on the stakes.

White spears and swords

Ripped off angels' hearts,

Cold was freezing their wings.

And night slowly fell

On forest beneath

Like fingers of bard on the strings -

On forest lying under

Mountains of mine,

Under wind, whispering legends of time...

And ice-storm along

With the Children of woods

Sang joyful and furious rhymes.

...As abused angels left the Earth

The call of freedom started its way !!!

I was going on other side

Of sacred new day

To infinity of blinding black mass

Absorbing the mind.

I was going on other side

Of dying sun's heat

To icy and frozen nature

Absorbing saints' lives.

And I saw burning shadows of the past

Along with endless and fathomless lakes.

...And the snow fell as it was born by Winter...
