RAFT OF DREAM
Rahim KARIM (KARIMOV) KYRGYZSTAN

The raft of dreams takes us to any distance,
We don't know how long we are destined to sail on it.
What berths await us ahead, What rocks, reefs and steep waterfalls.

We are alone on it, and with one oar,
But our white sail blows in our heart.
The Sun, Moon and stars look at us from the sky,
Below us are the waves carrying us towards the DREAM.

A person cannot live without a dream,
He always strives forward, to fly like a bird.
All my life I've been chasing my dreams,
On the raft of dreams day and night, summer and winter.

May God grant each of us the opportunity to swim to our BERTH,
May GOD HIMSELF accompany us all in this!
Oh, where are you, my long-awaited DREAM,
How I miss you, the purpose of my life?!

My beloved, how I long to meet You,
How I want to look at your eyes?!
Let the wooden RAFT of my DREAM be strong,
And my pine oar that I hold in my hands.
