To The Beloved Man Poem by Liza Sud

To The Beloved Man

Rating: 5.0


I am just a little shrimp on your shoulder.
You will come to me to Karelia in September.
You will come for a birthday or just like that.
And I will be as a little girl in your arms.

Oh, in your arms I will be a little girl.
Because you are more than a train, for you are a giant.
And you are longer than time, you are my over-life.
Everything holds on you, that's why - hold on!

I'll trust you, like leaves - to the golden winds.
You revealed to me the truth that a man is there,
In heavens, where a cloud is. And he knows all.
You are near, even when you are far. You are my God.

For omnipotent motherland - you're as an all-powerful shah.
And trustfulness is always on your lips.
It's good to be near, on earth, with God.
And by a simple small road you come - to me.

This is a celebration of the love of two human beings but the status of the Beloved in the Lover's estimation is so exalted he can be addressed as YOU ARE MY GOD. And he seems to be very worthy of this enhanced love because of his fidelity, kindness, persistence: he is a man without human stain or flaw. And he conveys a spiritual as well as physical presence: YOU ARE NEAR, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE FAR. Despite this intimacy, the Lover feels she is not his equal: He is a GIANT, he represents her OVER-LIFE, she is only a CHILD compared to the fullness of his being. But in the last line all of this grandeur is diminished and the Beloved is just a man walking down A SIMPLE SMALL ROAD to be reunited with his human lover. There is an irreducible mystery in this love affair; it transcends the common place and reveals a heightened reality.
