You look, and they are always with you -

All shadows: fear, despair and pain

they all are like death continuation

making your steps speed up …

You're afraid to see fading that explains - your world is finite

You hide your eyes when

All the shadows show you

Their incorporeal faces.

And the heart will certainly rise

When fear creeps in it.

It touches it desirably

And neither sleep oblivion nor dreams will save.

Death is craving for the silence, voiceless and harmless one,

Fear is the rustle of a creature walking step by step,

And you’re running and running, fearing to see a terrible face,

But you’ve just glimpsed in the mirror - you are dead.

Rush blindly among the branches

into the pitch-black darkness ...

And your shadow isn’t striving to run,

It is quiet, transparent and fatal.

Victim’s time has come - can one relax?

Suffering is a fair punishment

For those who have met moments of eternity!
