It could have been

Анна Крудалова
Among the thousand of scenes,
Amid a hundred known faces
With whom predestination braces
In crafted,well-conceived routine

I walk enjoying mutual pathway,
But frivolously let them go,
Not realizing I have thrown
Some sparklers (though I should have grasped them).


Then second thoughts start to debate
This comprehension - making clear
The huge mistake of ‘laissez-faire’:
“It could have been...  but now’s too late”.
