Rain flickers outside the window

Vsevolod Fomin

[verse 1]
Rain flickers outside the window.
Sadness sits tight in my chest
And pours down in a heavy downpour.
When will I be able to rest?
When will I be able to forget you?

[chorus]
The strongest people on the planet
Couldn't handle their wild love.
It just can't get away from us, can it?
There's nothing beyond and there's nothing above

The stars are changing each other in the sky,
The sun changes places with the moon
But I can't move, no matter how hard I try.
I'm still in the place of this endless love.

And very ridiculously soon,
I'll be myself, like this crystal white moon,
meaningless, reflecting the slanting rays of the sun.
I'll be like that unhurried water that glistens
in the lagoon
And maybe it all makes the most enormous sense

[verse 2]
And outside the window the rain has ended and there are clouds in the sky,
It's a very dark and pleasant night.
Everything's all right, everything's in perfect order, and it's just right,
As I think of the love that is a warm piece of mine.

[chorus]
The strongest people on the planet
Couldn't handle their wild love.
It just can't get away from us, can it?
There's nothing beyond and there's nothing above

The stars are changing each other in the sky,
The sun changes places with the moon
But I can't move, no matter how hard I try.
I'm still in the place of this endless love.

And very ridiculously soon,
I'll be myself, like this crystal white moon,
meaningless, reflecting the slanting rays of the sun.
I'll be like that unhurried water that glistens
in the lagoon
And maybe it all makes the most enormous sense

    Loved the line that sun changes places with the moon as it literally does from day to night but also the moon light being a reflection of the sun. Nicely worded this poem has many deeper elements.

      Thank you so much for such kind words. It is unexpected to hear so many nice comments in the first few days. It is especially important for me now, while I am at the beginning of my creative journey. I realise that I have a lot to work on, but I'm very happy that people are writing and leaving comments. It's extremely gratifying.
