10 Days

(from "The Green Path")

When assessment of a dirt

Is going the narrowest path among the trees

Like I used to stroll back and forth

With my Maths and English to receive the best possible score

Whilst growing my long green spring leaves

Allowing me to positively think

About future arrangements to make

Or perhaps take the quickest way leading to hell

Where nothing else is waiting for me

Except the gloominess, grisliness, and grief

Yet with a completely new memory

Helping me to perceive all the things differently

Than only in black and white monotony

Intertwining also some grey shadows

Into my strict and obscure point of view

Producing too many illusionary distractions on my path to another vision

Of my reality

In the strangest shape I could ever imagine
