AN AMULET FOR MY SON

(FOR SAŠA MILIVOJEV)

Dedicated to “The Prince of Contemporary Literature of Serbia”,

“The Poet of Mystical Flight and Meditation”

by his Professor of Literature

Spread your wings my son
Never stop to fly
The world will envy you
Embrace your own Sky

Leave these Skies behind
Before darkness falls
Here, where love is scarce
And you have the force

My love will be shield you from
spells and loneliness
My thoughts will be your trail
Will not let you waste away
Your heart’s unshaken
It beats for what it wants

Don’t let them drag you down
You’re not born to drown
Spread your wings my son
Safe harbour waits for thee
Your soul is fair
Your smile is beauty

A gift of God is a letter
That’s written by your hand
You deserve to take
All good that life can give

They will try to break you
Plain and wretched souls
Retailor destiny and dreams
On that soft palm of yours
To crumble all that is angelic in you
With their wicked thought to dust
Don’t fear
The future calls you,
under the brighter Skies it draws you.
