You Are Not Only A Lake Poem by Anahit Arustamyan

YOU ARE NOT ONLY A LAKE
You are not only a lake, Sevan! You are a blue eye opened forever. Your eyelid is the highland with its stony wrinkles. You are a diamond ring on my finger. Sevan! You are my blue air. No one can cut my finger to steal your crystal shine. The elderly hills are hugging your beautiful smile. The hills are immortal and you are their eye. Do mix your dreams with mine! The emptiness is chasing my heart. Let your fresh air come into my lungs. The immense diamond is giving me its sparkle to keep the emptiness away from my heart. I have a single life like tiny foam in the glass of wine. In the monastery on the top of the hill the prayers are heard every time. My lake! The monks are kneeling to pray for your immortal life.
