Сомнение  
Городничий Дмитрий 
 
1. 
А может я ненормалный  
И мне открыты все тайны?..  
Они лежат на тои высоте,  
которая доступна не многим.  
И я, восможно, один из тех,  
перед кем растилают дороги?..  
 
2. 
Но как обяснить слепому  
Чувство, что с детства знакомо?.. 
Сияние звезд в бесконечности лет,  
Огонь догорающей ночи? - 
Ты либо встречаешь багрянный расвет,  
либо нет - хочешь или не хочешь... 
 
3. 
Но вот что сбивает с дороги -  
Кто из нас более убогии?..  
Он? - потому, что его я считаю  
ущербным, со своей точки зрения.  
А может быть я? - потому, что не знаю  
его мироощущения...  
 
Февр.1994, Киев  
 
Doubt


But maybe I am abnormal
With all the mysteries known for me?..
  They are hidden in such flows
  Which are known for chosen.
  And I maybe one of those
  For whom the roads are open?.. 

But how to explain to a blind man
A feeling so known from mother's womb?..
  The shining of stars as eternity shot,
  The glittering wisdom of fire?.. 
  You either can see the scarlet dawn or not -
  It's not a matter of desire.

But there is one thing that disturbs me --
who is more crippled me or he?
  He? - as I think that he is so low
  As it looks from my soaring flight.
  Or maybe that`s me? -  because I don't know 
  his understanding of life...

Melody is close to reading with diction. 
In Em (hard beat)
The story
 While having shower and thinking on how different people are and that you don't have right 
to think that your Better because you  "know or saw or experienced more" , "can do more or better" 
(something I was placed to think of  many times in my life well after that day. esp. after coming to Canada - such a diverse country)
