Two poems by Lina Luchnikova

Надежда Егоровна Мамонтова

 Poems... poems don't die,
 They're flying over me,
 They sometimes fade
 And again they bloom brightly
 Again in the spring...
 
 Poems live... they are eternal,
 They both breathe and sing
 About the joy of his careless,
 About our fleeting life,
 Machnovka in a few minutes.
  
              *
 
 If in life we meet poets,
 That means there is a God in the world,
 They are messengers of divine light,
 In the words of their lives, love and honor,
 
 We get our youth back again,
 Carrying words like a gift from God,
 Sounding so clean, new,
 And again young is the one who is old,
 
 So life-giving its sadness
 We are given our youth again -
 The river runs to the sea mouth,
 It does not end in Love.
