To Laitman Poem by Liza Sud

To Laitman

I always was surrounded by silence.
and even Brodsky was in silence, deep.
and suddenly here you appeared, Laitman!
and the whole world now freely speaks to me!

And now every speck of dust is talking,
that everything is full of You, My Lord!
It has become a lightful dust - from dirty.
as if the dust became the holy goast!

And I am shocked, I really don't catch,
what did he say, how could explain all that?
that all around now is full of love,
And me myself with Love became as one?

and the whole world is carrying me at hands,
that and the same world - now has changed its rating.
He only said, the world is - inside us!
and inside me - all are the saints already!

***
Все время - в окруженьи тишины.
и даже Бродский был глубокой тишиною.
и вдруг явились, Лайтман, Вы!
и Мир легко заговорил со мною!

теперь мне каждая пылинка говорит,
о Мой Господь, что все полно Тобою!
из грязной стала - светлой! - пыль.
как будто стала пыль святою!

я удивляюcь, правда, не пойму,
что он сказал, что объяснил ТАКОГО?
что стало все вокруг полно любви,
что я сама слилась с любовью?

и мир меня весь носит на руках,
и тот же мир - теперь иного вида.
он лишь сказал: весь мир у нас - внутри!
а у меня внутри - вы все давно святые!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

WOW! WOW! We say in English to describe the group of poems you are composing, one after another - Liza is on a roll! I love this poem for its articulation of your core beliefs: You pull everything you treasure into your soul and then fling it as a bundle of treasures into the world for restless seekers like myself to discover. This is expressed especially in the stanza which includes these lines: It has become lightfull dust, as if the dust became the Holy Ghost. What a transformation of the material into the spiritual. These are more than words on paper - they are acts of altruism to use the word that appears frequently now in your writing. The last six lines! Everything you need to say is achieved in those six lines. It is an ecstatic ending that is a beginning.
