|
In the Darkest hours of the night, in a forest far away |
|
The baying of wolves, the hooting of owls could be heard in the distance... |
|
A young lad could not find his way through the natural maze |
|
Of coniferous green, |
|
When a seraphic beauty materialized into the night and directed the youth... |
|
Not much time has passed when he approached some rusty gates |
|
And beyond the remains of a garden |
|
A wave of life and colour engulfed the place |
|
As the gates gave way to the young lad's shove |
|
The scene he was awe-inspiring and chill ran up his spine |
|
The place was suddenly full of life! |
|
People danced to the sweet and mellow voices of some young little children |
|
Who sang for them |
|
Eclipsing thoughts infested his mind, confused yet welcome, |
|
He entered the Garden... |
|
Infants frolicked with the elderly, while others simply sat in peace of mind |
|
A thousand reassuring smiles beckoned the child to enter...to safety |
|
The gates of Eden closed shut - And left his life behind |
|
Hoping for a better one - Within the Gate's confines... |
|
He craved for a sense of exaltation! |
|
Yet he was lost in a sea of Darkness. |
|
A mysterious fog surrounded the garden and a voice echoed in the air |
|
The ground shook terribly for Apollyon had left his infernal lair |
|
A blood-curdling scream ripped the tense atmosphere |
|
And the people surrounded the lad... |
|
He could feel he was pitied by the others who fell prey to the same ensnare |
|
Funereal deploration dissolved his insides |
|
Yet he could not grasp his state of being |
|
Obscurity twisted his mind |
|
The answer to this riddle came as a piercing truth: |
|
'Deceased you belonged to me but deceit has taken you away from me! |
|
You are trapped forever in the Garden of Eden... |
|
In misery... |
|
...for eternity... |
