“The days of remembrance have passed…”

***

The days of remembrance have passed,

May rains — tears of those on Earth,

and the ashes of the fallen in war —

celestial beings.

Behind us — three years of pain.

And how to live with this —

is ours to decide, and ours alone.

In the beginning was the Word,

and now — words, words…

and words, like people, are tired.

It happens.

But all will pass. This too shall pass.

And Ukraine?

What about Ukraine?

She will be rebuilt —

inevitably and irreversibly.
