DESSY TSVETKOVA

 

 

Angels

 

Each time I fall, or drown,

or if I lose my ground,

a friend is coming though

and gives me hands around.

And Lord is merciful

to all, I personally know,

I hope it is reverse pull,

my friends are angels though.

 

Escaping

 

Common steps and roads,

familiar faces,

well-known ways and modes,

same old places.

We stay in our

comfort zone,

and we do the same things

over and over again.

Until some cataclysm, some storm,

and then we have to stop

somehow the pain.

This is actually when

we start living

fully in main.
