Nina Gorsky

A hope took out my heart poor
and put it in bosom of yours…
You can’t tear away me, for sure,
I can’t tear away you, for sure, - 
each one, void another, is lost!

You and I, I and you – we’re now
the links of the ceaseless chain! 
The sky and the sea, by Fate bound, 
the sea and the sky – in one main!
