Свобода выбора Возможен выбор поражения. Возможно, право победить. Смотрю я в небо безмятежно И слышу моря синий рык. Возможна пена над волною, Возможен ветра терпкий бриз, Но все закончится тобою, Финал нельзя предотвратить. Мне не жалеть о постоянстве, Взлететь ли птицей в облака, Песчинкой в миге и пространстве Я растворяюсь навсегда. Возможно, право поражения. Возможен выбор победить. Огонь живет своим горением. Свобода выбора – светить. Pollin 2005.
