"Enjoy the silence"

by Yury Nesterenko
		
		Enjoy the silence

The way was long, and here is the end.
To fight against the fate is not a duty,
But those who choose have no right to stop
Before they reach the end of their road.
Your sword is tired, and your cloak is worn.
Have you fulfilled your task? A useless question.
Who won the battle? Nobody won.
And was it truth or dream? You can't remember.
The world that broke the mirror of your eyes
Is left behind you. Only dust and ashes
Are still with you and make your hair grey,
And chain of your footprints is lost in shadows.
If really the word became the world,
Then now you can see back transformation,
And it's the word your can forget at last.
To be or not to be - that's not a question,
Time never asks - it waits for its time.
The longest road has the ending point.
So you deserved your right. Your way was hard,
And now you can rest. Enjoy the silence.
