AER AD AQUAM

Description

Журавли пролетают над морем.
И тиха и безмерна волна.
И минуты в часах оседают.
Было…Не было…Ход Бытия.

Журавли улетают за Солнцем,
Они знают и ведают Путь.
Очи я возвожу к поднебесной,
Перемены случайны как ртуть.

Журавли, облака потревожив,
Растворяются в золоте снов.
Эти крылья и крик и беспечность,
Рисовали на небе Любовь….

In his paw he holds a stone. Asleep the crane, and the stone will fall out from his paw and fell to the foot on which he stands, will Wake him.”
