Maria Shipka
See-saw
Like a see-saw
the life is...
once up you are,
once again
fall down.
Once rises up
into the most
bright highness,
afterward
throws down
fully on a bottom.
Ah! why, why...?
what yesterday
was promised,
already today
cannot be
seriously taken?
All wonderful,
what yesterday
happened,
can be today
only bitterly
bemoaned.
It maybe belong
to our lives,
nothing´s necessary
much gravely to take...
instead of empty,
deceptive words,
own inner voice
listen to....
