All in the world begins with love

All in the world begins with love…("Все начинается с любви" Роберта Рождественского)

   *           *          *
All in the world begins with love…
They say:
      «The Word’s
                in the beginning», –
But I declare  – till sun’s beaming
All in the world begins
with love!..

All in the world begins with love:
The work –
and inspiration air,
The floret’s eyes,
The child’s stare –
All in the world begins with love.

All in the world begins with love,
With love!
This is exactly known.
All,
      even hate –
 is just an own
and ageless sister of the love.

All in the world begins with love:
Dreams, fear,
Powder and wine,
        Feat,
               tragedy
                heartache, sublime –
All in the world begins with love...

Spring will tell gently: «Be alive!» 
And you will sway from tender whisper.
And will draw up.
And start like breezing.
All in the world begins with love...
