Sacred laws and people ...



Ode To The Future - the first collection of poems by Inna Radinovskaya translated and published by Svetlana Rakhimova

This one is a newly translated poem

Shall we comply with Sacred Laws
Acknowledging that we are part of Nature?
Or shall we leave it to the Laws
To “own” or “disown” us???

Just like the deaf and dumb
Do not perceive the sadness of the bell toll,
So we are blind in the face of Time,
And Time takes its toll!!!

Seek the Awakened among the dormant
And find answers amidst the books...
We are not dinosaurs,
But how shall we survive???

- Complying with the Laws of Nature,
Choosing the Spirit over flesh,
From plethora of knowledge moving to the Light,
Becoming givers of kindness and love...
