На тыщи лет

Voprosy, kotorye stavit pered soboĭ nastoi͡ashchiĭ poėt, pochti vsegda paradoksalʹny, gluboki, a poroĭ i ne imei͡ut odnoznachnogo otveta: "Kak neobʺi͡atnoe obʺi͡atʹ, kak rassekretitʹ skrytnoe, / Chto iz tainstvennoĭ dali progli͡anetsi͡a poroĭ?" Pri ėtom zhiznʹ chasto ispytyvaet cheloveka na prochnostʹ: "Ne mëdom pustʹ zhiznʹ i ne raem - / Poroi͡u ne vidno ni zgi, / Dorogi, chto my vybiraem, / Dli͡a nas navsegda dorogi…" O samykh raznykh zhiznennykh ispytanii͡akh, trudnosti͡akh vybora ("na tyshchi let"!) i posledstvii͡akh za prini͡atye reshenii͡a - mnogie stikhotvorenii͡a Petra Spivaka. V to zhe vremi͡a oni ochenʹ lirichny, v nikh mnogo li͡ubvi, radosti, a takzhe gordosti za nashu Rodinu - Rossii͡u: "Vgli͡adimsi͡a v goda bylye - / Vsë bylo: i krovʹ, i mestʹ. / No stoĭkoĭ slyla Rossii͡a, / Svoi͡u ne roni͡ala chestʹ. / Rossii͡a, sii͡aĭ, Rossii͡a, / Vo vesʹ vekovoĭ prostor, / V tebe udalai͡a sila, / V tebe i dushi zador…" Dli͡a li͡ubiteleĭ poėzii.

The questions that a real poet poses to himself are almost always paradoxical, deep, and sometimes do not have an unambiguous answer: "How to embrace the vast, how to declassify the hidden, / What will sometimes peek out from the mysterious distance?" At the same time, life often tests a person's strength: "Let life not be honey and not paradise – / Sometimes you can't see a thing, / The roads that we choose are forever dear to us ..." About the most diverse life trials, difficulties of choice ("for thousands of years"!) and the consequences for the decisions made are many of Peter Spivak's poems. At the same time, they are very lyrical, they contain a lot of love, joy, and pride in our Homeland, Russia.: "Let's look back at the years of yore – / Everything was: blood and revenge. / But Russia was reputed to be steadfast, / She did not drop Her honor. / Russia, shine, Russia, / In all the age-old vastness, / You have a dashing force, / You have a fervor in your soul..."
