Poems by Altai artist, N. Chepokov Now I rest by the campfire Children and adults are very close They were interested in the clouds I look around - various creatures It's very funny I look and drink tea * * * The moon rises over the mountains In the noisy houses, there is light in the windows Spirits move quietly in this light Peace The drummer of the ancient "Kama" can be heard softly * * * Without haste, I wander wherever I want There is much to see in the mountains Various things Funny and sad things Claimed by no one I wander and draw * * * It is a fairy tale and it is a fantasy I know that it exists The village in the moonlight by the lake Somewhere in the mountains among the pine trees r - f-f, I will rest in the shade of trees The stream fills me It is frightening I will still reach my goal reach At midday everything is beautiful and quiet.
