People Are Like Trees - Antonia Zoryana Shelepylo Translated By Maryna Tchianova
I see people. They walk like trees.
As if everyone was in himself and for himself.
A kind of a human forest.
I may be a tree too, although without roots or fruit
but for the others I am nothing and no one.
Each tree`s eyes fall down.
To see clearly and vividly in everyone
how you grow like love within,
flourish like life
give birth to fruit of humanity.
Give me such eyes that could see You in the other world,
where there are not so much
eyes that have vision
and are not only open.
We grow from one land,
go to another
but on Earth we can be
the basis to the Sky.
I want to see a human being
In me and someone else.
I have no roots but I stretch my branches for us to become roots for each other.
