Flashback - 2

(about 10-15 years ago)

Now, ten years later,
being in trouble;
long and smoothly falling down
during life and death struggle;
I remember my old nightmares
which repeated
for a few successive years,
where I saw a picture
of the same kind:

I`m flying in a plane
of an unknown flight,
and all of a sudden...
my plane is starting heeling
and falling down.
Through a window
I`m staring upon the ground
as it`s dashing against me -
I`m down and out.

Fright and a feeling
of the imminent end of my day
are petrifying my body and brain
as I`m falling down in a smooth flight
lost in time and lost in fright.

I remember that those nightmares
haunted me
for a few successive years
as if telling beforehand
about the coming crash.

But only now, long after,
being already in trouble;
all-out in the deadly struggle;
I realize the point of that prediction,
brought to me
by an inscrutable force;
that looks like fiction!

We have been falling into
the pitch darkness for years,
three of us joined hands,
our son with us;
but our daughter, a poor little soul,
she has stayed at home alone,
since the plane brought us
to another part of the earth,
at once
parted our family into two parts;
all the parts
have got broken hearts.

Our daughter, the poor little soul,
she is also a victim of the life crash;
living and growing up alone
in this cruel world, in the cold;
a lonely wanderer in a flood of tears
on her thorny path
walking on long years.

Where will she come to?
Nay, who will help her
to choose the right way?
