My desire... - Nadezhda Zaharieva

My desire is to find a shelter
In some god forsaken wilderness,
Bathe in virgin dew-drops Eden's water,
Drink a scent of herbs – luxturiaters
And lie-down in cradle-greenery;

Then I'd contemplate unsatiably
Blue and fathomless, the sky above,
Till to it ascends my spirit rambling
And the Earth, on my flesh pressing her lips,
Sighs and takes me in with mother's love.

Nadezhda Zaharieva (born 1944) Bulgaria
