REMEMBERS HIS GREEN MEADOWS A NOMAD DEER_author Boris Laurentiev

The fog over green valley, a dawn dream, the morning silence and the sense of future. A white horizontal of calmness - like an echo over the ravine expance, mountain slopes, the vanity of days. Our act rushes forward with a red line, and after greed and trials, after victories and ambitions we seek for something initial, for happiness: a scarlet line comes close to the white horizontal - but does not reach it. The frenzy of consumerism and body pleasures do amuse - yet how short are they, how far are they from calm and warmth that our soul has known before the pain got into it.
