Стихотворениe Софьи Волокитиной для Фестиваля поэзии на иностранных языках INSPIRATIO

My Season by Sofya Volokitina

It’s funny how I missed it,

This lamp-lit world of rain,

Of autumn leaves and passers-by,

Where nothing is mundane.

It’s funny how I long to

Be part of autumn’s life

And dance to her fresh whisper

And see her misty eyes.

I  love the regal splendour

Of  common autumn leaves –

A breathtaking miracle  

In that everyone believes.

And when the splendid colours

Of autumn fade away,

I love the ugly beauty

Of empty, wet and grey.

I’ll never tire of watching

The restless love affair

Between the greatest city

And the season of despair.
