********

	By Sara Margaryan


	  Write something about life -
	You will ask me one day.
	It will probably be one of the quiet evenings
	When the nature dives into the sunrays
	And present itself to its utmost -
	Then you are mostly inclined
	To philosophical talks.

	  I will not answer to your request
	Because I always write about life,
	Regardless of the form
	In which I present my writings:
	Not necessarily poetry but lines
	Without beginning or end.

	  You will nevertheless ask me
	To write about life - maybe something new,
	That has not been written yet,
	But of course whatever one writes
	Is newat least for him.

	  You never knew what I expected from life,
	And I will never betray myself -
	Neither in dreams or under my pen
	One will see or hear
	Words of confession
	Who said once,
	That art and life
	Cannot coexist?
