If A Soul Has Wings To Soar Poem by Vic Postnikov

If A Soul Has Wings To Soar

Rating: 4.8


If a soul has wings to soar,
Palaces and shacks ignored.
Ghengis Khan, stay out of sight:
Just two enemies to fight,
Twins inseparably tight -
Hungry poor and rich untold.

1918, Marina Tsvetaeva
2007, Trans. by V.Postnikov
