Vladimir Kush,
Burn, Burn My Candle
You the most beautiful light
the holy living glow of the flame
you were born of the brightness of the Sun on the sea,
the first star of the evening in the disappearing sky

I wasn't looking for anything, I didn't
choose which light
you could even say that my life was
clamped shut and the world,
I had no knowledge of it
only of my narrow fears

The Sun brought you
when I was sitting under the bare magnolia tree
waiting for the Spring.
I was afraid but I fought
my eyes had become clouded and I didn't notice
that wearing the night on your shoulders,
you had opened your arms to me
