What are you doing?
outside the gates
of life
what are you waiting for?
all the springs
pass you by?
and you, without grasping
with both hands
the rose you planted
the colour of dawn
up there in the sky
With your muses
in rainbow hues
what are you thinking?
drowning
in a single drop of water?
make your mark
in the land
of daydreams
of aspirations
of souls.

Translation of ‘A Luz’ by Karina Kalinkina
