Exodus – I. The Soul is Open

My heart has lived through every verse — no fabrications, no flattery toward people, no judgment of human life. I strive to share my joy, love, longing, and pain — the very feelings anyone on planet Earth can experience, with people whose souls are wounded. A poet’s not the one who writes a word, But one whose heart has truly heard — Who’s lived their years, felt dreams of old, And set them down in ink, untold. With deepest respect, Your AVA — Viktor Alekseevich Assorov
