~Alexander Blok

Let Me stay at heights most lofty,
I'm spotless, I'm complete.
The shore is dark and looks so lonely
whilst ships are furrowing the sea.

Sometimes, a sail' close aboard,
it sparks a dream in Me at once.
And in the endless vast, behold
my Soul's extravagance.

It feels so solitary, stilly,
and I am at the steering wheel,
and I am crooning — don't you hear it? —
your dream, my beloved keel.

Trust your sail to the tempest,
churning strangers' fate, not yours:
and in My azure calm expanses
I'll mourn your twists and turns.
