Saga Of Viola And Cello Poem by Igor Balatsky

They were born long ago
in two different countries
and the different ages.
They were made by the hands
of two different masters.

They could not meet to sing
as a marvellous duet.
In the cage of unfreedom
they were dreaming of it
as an air castle of theirs.

And they heard their voices
for the thousands of miles.
And they longed for the song
in the dead of the night
when the whole world
was falling asleep.

They sang their duet -
the melody of love
the Saga of Vio and Cello
which was heard
by the Heaven and stars.

And it sounded as a prayer
about the day of bliss
when they joined their bodies together
throwing off the shackles of bondage
casting off their chains of duty -
and sang in full voices at last.

Lots of years have passed
lots of water
has flowed under the bridges.
But they are still keeping on singing -
two purest voices
of Viola and Cello -
the sweetest taboo for each other.

Can you hear this song
at the break of the day
when the dawn is being born again?
