Cozy world

The work appeared as an illustration of the authors poem
(machine translation)

"I want a cozy world, so that the sun warms,
A blue cloud was flying across the sky,
The sound of waves and the rustle of pebbles,
Songbirds are small flocks.

To have a forest there, and shout in it: "Ow!"
Find mushrooms and slap a mosquito on your forehead.
Like an animal running barefoot, breaking twigs,
And soft moss, and thickets of thick thorns.

I want to watch the meadows bloom,
And the smell of flowers lies in the heart of the coast.
To drink pure spring water.
Wet your skirt in a cold river.

I want to be able to climb high,
And in the snow-white cap of the mountains to wallow.
Look from there down into the valleys,
To capture the spirit of the peaks.

I want more, so that in the world tom,
The father s house was not forgotten,
Childrens laughter echoed through the courtyards,
And young people are like couples.

I want a cold world with ice
To drink the blood of lovers. And then
Embrace, forgive and let go,
And, again, to love unrestrainedly.

I want a world of flame, so that in it
Sins burned with an all-purifying fire.
So that repentance is rewarded with redemption,
Filled with tears to the point of frenzy.

I want to run and, jumping, fly,
Crawl, lie down, dance and sing!
Well, then, sit down quietly.
Thank you, world, for being the way you are.
