Svitlana Iotko – poetry and prose

April 25, 2024

God, make me a shadow in the night - To find the way and pick up the keys To the heart, where there are no windows and no light, Autumn reigns there, winter rages!

I can fight with the angel of darkness, I beg you one thing - leave at least hope That weapon of love and holy faith - The ice crystal will warm the palms.

The more I learn that there are no rules The game of life, my mind begs Expand the horizon and throw off the shackles And destroy everything that pours poison In the cup of life And leads to nothingness.

I want to find Gate to heaven... Hope for eternity - She doesn't die.

When I'm far away, my heart aches To you, my dear Ukraine, I did not know that you can influence You are so foreign to me...​ I love you because my heart is still there I grieve in vain, I only hope To fly to you like a stork, So that we can rejoice together again!

Will see friends, smile at the sun And look into the house, through the window, Kiss the sky and hug again Inhale your scent... You are my love!

Bloom in the flame and roar of the dawn! Make our people strong, God, You defend the country from attacks, So that the spirit would not be extinguished, but would be free!

I pray for you, Ukraine With pain in my heart I hope I believe that victory will come - Hope is not extinguished in vain.

Rain drops remind me That you are not with me - You are far away...

You are all I want And that can mean The more I cry when i see Raindrops...

Rain drops made to live Rain drops Don't stop... They roam freely

Drops on the loose The sun is also crying - Such is fate Mine, especially:

Love the clouds To love the earth - Silver drops The sky will not hold...

Raindrops - What is there for you: pain or joy, Sorrow or heaven?..

Have we ever thought about where we are going and what we live for? What is our goal? What is the final destination? And what will happen next - after we achieve the goal?

Perhaps our life is like a walk through a fairy-tale forest in search of adventures and new selfies, a time to admire the beauty of God's creation. Perhaps our life is a school where every day we learn something new, improve, and where every challenge is a task that we have to solve in order to move to a new level.

Perhaps our life is a high-speed train that rushes non-stop from one point to another, and only bright pictures periodically flash outside the window... But all this passes.

Maybe our life is a boxing ring and we are constantly hitting back. Sometimes we attack... But fatigue prevents us from winning...

Perhaps our life is like a race, a test for survival, every day we fight for the opportunity to breathe and somehow exist...

Maybe you are living like hell today and beg every day to stop this torment... You cry out in pain, but the answer is silence...

You may think that God has forgotten about you... But know: this is not so. He is near, He sees everything and hears us. Let's turn to Him. Let's pray. Let's search. Let's not stop - let's go! Let's ask ourselves the question more often: "Why?" And don't give up - we will win!

If there is a dream in the heart, we will do everything to achieve it! Remember: it is better to go slowly than to stand still. But never be afraid to ask for help, because it is written: "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you; for everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).

Let's remember: difficulties make us stronger.
