The Lady of Their Youth

A poem straight from the heart of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Pripyat, the lady of their youth
open your heart for me
to see the hidden truth. 
Let me find your secret paths
to look through your windows,
and even if autumn salutes,
let me see the persistent leaves,
lead me back to the playground
so colourful,
where they were playing with those berries
bearing nothing
feeling their childhood's love.
