We used to run and always barefoot

We ate everything what we ever could -

up to the mood

Lilac with rare five petals

Somewhere in our neighborhood

Acacia with its dubious sweetness...

Some peas and surely with the green pods,

Green apricots and apples,

Gooseberries and cherries

Along with cherries we ate cherry pits...

And even resin, just some bits ;)

In summer rains we jumped

over the puddles...

In winter frosts we used to crunch some icy snow

We wanted everything, that doubled

Our happiness, that only used to grow...

We were nursed by the Earth and protected

She played with us and spoiled like a kind grandma

And treated us with love from early morning

Until the velvet darkest night...

We washed our braids with the rainwater,

The wounds were treated with plantain...

How I want to go back to that life or a sort of

What the happiness is - I can explain!..

Where the Earth opened Her palms to us,

Filled with wonderful gifts and treasures

And treated generously and lovingly

With dusty, but clean fruits without measure.

We didn't use to clean

We didn't use to wash anything,

We simply used to eat and go...

Well, when was it? Long time ago

When all the trees were very tall...
