To The Moon
by “Soselo” of 🇬🇪 Georgia 🇬🇪
Move tirelessly
Do not hang your head
scatter the mist of the clouds
The Lord’s providence is great.
Gently smile at the earth
Stretched out beneath you;
Sing a lullaby to the glacier
Strung down from the heavens.
Know for certain that once
Struck down to the ground,
an oppressed man
Strives again to reach the pure mountain,
When exalted by hope.
So, lovely moon, as before
Glimmer through the clouds;
Pleasantly in the azure vault
Make your beams play.
But I shall undo my vest
And thrust out my chest to the moon,
With outstreched arms, I shall revere
The spreader of light upon the earth!
Fun fact, "Soselo" is the penname of Stalin.
Also fun fact, this probably sounds a lot better in Georgian.
He was actually an amazing poet. I love some of his work. Also I've wanted this comm forever, I'm so glad we finally have it.
Edit - I meant the allowing poetry thing. Sorry heavy painkillers, I fucked up what I meant.
