Pushkin's Fatherly Voice Poem by Liza Sud

Pushkin's Fatherly Voice

Rating: 5.0

He's like the sun without clouds,
The sun is smiling all the time,
Caresses every blade and heartache
And makes you feel warmth in your blood.

He's like the sun - wise and eternal,
Without shadow or a blame,
May be he had faults as a person
But all his poems are saint.

I hear his voice - the voice of Father,
Although he was young merry man,
He knows everything what happens
Inside of all the souls and minds.

He should be read with smile and laughter,
With humor, hopeful irony,
Like all-forgiving and all-loving
And all-embracing by iamb rhythm.

After you've read him - you keep silence,
As if you saw God Face to Face,
Or as the Jewish say 'Shamati' -
Just heard His voice in world's dark place.

It is the magic of God's Light
that lightly flows in his words.
If you are dead - you come to life
as if returning from long shock.

***
Он как безоблачное солнце,
что улыбается всегда,
ласкает стебель, сердце с болью,
и кровь с ним будет горяча.

Как солнце - мудрый он и вечный,
без тени или без вины,
есть слабости в нем человечьи,
но все стихи его - святы.

Глас - как Отца - его я слышу,
хоть молод он и весел был,
Он знает все, чем души дышат,
чем мысли заняты внутри.

Его - со смехом и улыбкой
с иронией надо читать,
как всепрощенье - всех обнимет,
и любит всех ритмичный ямб.

Прочтя его - вы замолчите,
как Бога увидав в Лицо,
Или услышите в сем мире
как в темном царстве - глас Его.

И это чудо Божья Света
легко течет в его словах,
и он пробудит вас от смерти,
от шока затяжного сна.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is a beautiful and noble praise of PUSHKIN and I hear all of the Russias in what you say so clearly and precisely about his enduring role in your individual lives and in the whole culture. Your poem is written with astonishing grace and fluency because the subject is so dear to you. Now I'm half-glad I made that stupid joke because it called forth this sublime poem which articulates for all to appreciate Russians' regard for THEIR POET OF POETS.

Fascinating poem, Liza. I don't know much about Pushkin but you do know how to sing his praises. Well done.

Wonderful tribute to a true leader. Mr. P is a great leader and Russians are really really lucky have their country running under such a leadership. He is a great personality too. Thanks Liza for sharing the excellent write. X
