When the last snow melts
When the world turns green
And the water ends up running
The power will solidify
The faith and hope will awaken
And under the nightingale’s gentle babbling
The entire Belarusian Land will cast off the robes of winter.
In language and poems, in bright people that are in dark places, — Belarus Lives.
POEMS FROM PRISON IS A JOINT PROJECT OF THE FREEDOM POSTCARDS INITIATIVE AND People’s Embassy of Belarus in Brazil.
