Analysis of Relax; go with the flow
Khrystyna Pelchar 1998 (Lviv)
I saw the light above my head.
It was the plane flashing in red.
The sky was blue, and clouds fled,
I took the way the stars have led.
They were lined up in a row.
I blindly followed their glow.
Without rush, the time goes slow.
One says, “relax; go with the flow.”
