***

I try hard to catch my breath.
God, I am not young anymore.
It is a shadow over there
And a thought behind the door.
 
There is a guard at the gate,
He is staring hard on me...
There are demons everywhere,
He thinks; demon is only me.
 
There is a flower at the window
And a dog is barking hungry.
There is a witch and a widow,
They are keeping quiet but looking angry.
 
I do hear the silence screaming,
Here it is getting noisy every day
I killed a shadow. I did it fearless,
I had to do it in my way...
 
I try hard to catch my breath,
To preserve freedom from the blade
These times of evil, time of death
Find and shall find me unafraid...
