Olga Arefieva

She Made A Step

She died because
she wanted unmeasured
love without any limit.
She fell because
she had flied that time
when her body
disappeared.

She ceased to speak
'cause she didn't sing
and she was not skillful
to say anything.
She was all in white,
even lighter than Light,
and she made a step forward
without a fear -

And she made a step.

Her soul was as herb
that fluttered by storm winds,
and her hairs were flittered
like a sea waves.
When she undressed,
she didn't know the difference
between the nude man
and the dressed man.

She played a game
with unknown rules,
she fell upwards
and was broken by Heaven.
She didn't search
for the Magic Land 'cause
she's already been
where - nobody knows.

And she made a step.
