the Door

Анна Филимонова
the free verse


Life goes on event by
event by event...
You take everything
for a given for ever.
You don't always notice
the little things
those may be vital.
And you can not see
the great things because of
the scale mismatch. And so
you are benumbing
in front of the door
with the legend "wake up!"
dreading to open it,
fearing that your world
will turn upside.
It's your survival recipe -
better not to see,
easier not to feel,
to think just sometimes.
But you are the true
one behind that door.
What will you do?
