Petrouchka Alexieva

Under the Moonlight

 

The days of our life are written in the sky

like blinking points in a dark. Just look up,

they will tell you the truth. If you know

how to read the stars, they’ll answer questions

 ‘What?”, “Where?” and “Why?”.

 

All lines are the walks we take

-        big and small, all forest thin paths,

all the city big freeways on which we harry

to accomplish, to give and to get,

all the paths on which we love or hate.

 

From time to time,

we stop and look up at the mistic sky

to get the guidance and read the maps

of the distance nebulas and conciliations

hoping that we are born in the right zodiac.

 

Since the first human was born, we send chants

the two biggest dots - the Moon and the Sun.

We look at the crystal ball of our life

under the moonlight and hoping to see

another bright morning light.
