Cosmic Root

On a lit by sunbeams meadow among the fields of green and hot
Beneath the gemstones of rainbows a child lived in bliss and love
She ran amidst springy sprouts, she drew in caressing sunshine
She rode on wild horses at the summertime of life

Birdsongs thrilled the waltzing air and the smiling eyes of lakes
Told endless fairy tales to our young queen of grace
Of sunrays made verses watered life to grow and bloom
Of divine light thread places knew no rock, no doom

Когда дубы окрепли в лоне леса и берёзы принесли целебный сок
Дождь пошёл сверкающей капелью, и ребёнок рос и рос
Вот она слетает с дому и по серой улице идёт
Благословенною дорогой в школу... Что её там ждёт?

И вот она свободна, расправляет крылья вновь
В лицо ей дует ветер и почему-то льётся кровь
Кто похитил у выпускницы свет глубин души?
Высыхают слёзы в кулаках сухой глуши...

She cried and bowed to the moon begging to share her disgrace
But moon wept its own sorrow and turned away its pale face
She pled the stars to release her and redeem to cosmic heights
But the stars rang with anger and bereaved her of their trace

She asked an old wise man to help her and cure the deepest inner grief
The white-clothed elder thought a century and could not aid her in her quest
She sat on stone so grey and lifeless while the rock started to speak
It invited to a palace six feet under ground to provide a rest

On a crossroad of two domains she had to choose one way
To hide within the childhood's meadow or to step onto eternal grey
To stay for aeons within the magic kingdom dwelling in her depths
Or to roam throughout stark land slowly meeting death

She chose beyond the offer, walked to the third path
She took both arguing domains and made them whole again
The world which lived within her heart she spilled into the real life
What once was barren realm yet embodies her dream

This world waits for us to come, to sow our seeds into its ground
Earth is a studio to form what we truly want
The one that lives in you knows all the buried truth
Recall your cosmic root and do what you are here to do
