Mysterious Eclipse

The Old Man

Mysterious Eclipse


My heart is a prisoner 
of the neverending nets of sorrow. 
By each of my footsteps 
the flowers desiring death 
make a eulogies about my legs. 

The evening of life is coming, 
the hair is getting grey in lonely thoughts 
I hear message of the Underworld. 

Sitting at the life side 
I am thinking about the past, the Underworld. 
Shaky touch of old hands 
is breaking hoops of life 
trying to loosen from the shackles of the death. 

What power it must be which created me 
into this gigantic mystery 
as the flower bud in the midnight forest. 

The life is coming to its end 
to pass away in shadows of tombstones. 
The life must be called off 
to have a drink of sorrow 
and light in funeral flame. 

I love this life, 
I will also love the death.
