Lonely Soul
------------------------
Dialog of 2 poets:
----------------------------------------
1. Lonely Soul
-----------------------------------
Between heaven and earth,
between summer and winter,
Lonely Soul rushed,
rustling her wings.
Up to the stars,
again downward
from eave to eave,
from window to window
and again, she is in flight.
The fires burn somewhere;
somewhere music and laughter,
someone’s joyful days
dazzling success and good luck.
Lonely Soul
has lost the way between the stars
in her long searches, all wet with tears.
Again, she hurries,
there is neither a map nor way.
But she should SEARCH
and FIND, sometime!
Where? Who? And why?
She is my own soul,
which searches for my lost son.
Dina Televitskaya
2. Sing, Wounded Soul!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot hold your cries,
they slip through my fingers.
I cannot take away your pain,
it lies so far beyond my reach.
I cannot dig out your sorrow,
its roots are too deep.
I cannot chase away your fears,
they hide and creep out later.
I can only tell you, you are loved.
So, sing, wounded soul,
your tears do not fall into emptiness.
James Dalton Byrd (American poet)

3.Yes, I will sing again!
-----------------------------------
Yes, I will sing again!
Thanks for your advice, O my Friend!
A song is a fine thing,
You’re right: it is not the end!
Hear? I already sing
about the kisses of a rain,
about green-eyed Spring,
which gives the lilacs hope again.
I sing about your kindness and
About force of friendship,
About meeting with you, my Friend
Sometime, on poetic ship.
