Don't immerse your heart in sadness
Solitary star,
This world is taking off, half-mad,
Without a handlebar
And you and I, two tiny peas,
amidst a no man's land
Hummingbirds of happiness
Fluttered out of hand
Walking down a rainbow's edge,
Too silent to be heard,
Sent to us by gracious angels,
А greatly needed word
Smothered by a feeling
Spent for no one's sake
Happiness, discredited,
Is weeping at the stake
Words and leaves are falling
Just to color soggy ground
Happiness, so hesitant
Is begging for a crown,
Wanting not to trouble
Comes and goes in haste
Outwardly — so honorable,
Inwardly — abased
Don't immerse your heart in sadness
Solitary star,
This world is taking off, half-mad,
Without a handlebar
And you and I, two tiny peas,
amidst a no man's land
Hummingbirds of happiness
Fluttered out of hand
