Falls And Flights Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

From the sky to the land –

It’s so painful!

First thought: Enough!

It’s the last flight.

But…then again look at the sky.



This is our human nature:

to be strange, strong and weak.

As only the wounds heal

we forget about danger

and again spread our wings.



We again long for the sky

surprising God with our wishes.

We believe only in good dreams,

try again to fly up

after so many falls and anguishes.



We have not enough life,

we have not enough sky,

we have not enough dreams and time.

Thousand times we make new tries

starting from the very beginning.



This is the rotation of life,

Falls and flights.



Larisa R (Odessa, Ukraine)
