Night forest

Женя Кравцов
                "Когда я был ребенком, — лес ночной..."
                (А. Блок).



I was a kid. Night forest scared me.
Swamp in the fog, night plain,
My stumbling horse by eerie fir-tree–
This terrified me to the pain.

Some years have passed since then
And life has broken spirit; i've seen a lot.
Returning to the twilight forest land
I'm filled with joy and burning hurt.
