Risk Of Peace Poem by viacheslav kupriyanov

Autumn trees risk blossoming every spring
risk of blossoming
mortals risk giving birth to mortals
in pursuit of fantastic immortality
risk of birth
this risk is justified by the unity of life
its incredible mastery of the times
spaces
risk of life
which is justified by life itself
and that is why on every living planet
against the risk of war and enmity
accumulates the risk of peace
the risk of peace and trust
which in counterbalance to the risk of war and death
is justified by life
not only by life which began history
but also
by life which only will come
which only will come then
when we all collect our senses to allow ourselves
not the endless yoke of defense
but the risk of trusting peace
the mortal risk
of peace
