The cruel death

In a labyrinth of solitude, I keep falling into a pit; a narrow one, dark, deep, bottomless... together with a huge, bold, sharp sorrow moving all around my soul. "A paradise for thy hungry soul!", whisper sins. "Countless scared faces are to dwell here forever!" then sings a bat. Whe... Where am I? Suddenly a young spirit starts laughing: "Welcome! Welcome to the cruel death fogged by our dried tears." O, the eternal life! There sat an old man in a rusty cage. I tiptoed into the fog, he lies down. Greets me by his weak voice: "Come in, come in; Eternal glory thou shalt win!" as he rises his head. And now... I drink the joy of sorrow till I reincarnate. A step from the cruel death, through the eternal life... --- ŐzgűrK.
