Forgotten memories

"Reveal your rotten soul to the darkness!"
Someone whispered on the way:
"Do you know this way of calmness?"
"Do you eager to stay here?"

Some old human answered briefly:
"I don`t know who I am indeed".
"I don`t know why I want to stay here".
"This path is full of memories".

Someone touched his elbow:
"Don`t you know this way is cruel?
Forget about these memories,
Just not to be a fool!"

"If you want to stay right here,
You need to leave your present life.
Your memories are buried here,
But your existence still alive!"

"And if you want to know your way,
You need to give away your soul!
And only then I let you stay,
I let you stay forever here!".

A man was somewhat scared.
He just wanted to know the way,
The way of life he dared,
He dared to live someday.

He tried to know his life.
To know about his nature.
To know his habits and for last,
Has he been a human creature?

Everything revealed to him.
A stranger let him know the truth.
He was a black conceited bird,
"A raven", as he proofed.

He was a watcher of the deaths,
He liked to be alone.
He hated everyone he met,
And wished them to be gone.

When everything was clear to him,
A man has passed away.
He found himself in the world beyond,
Those sunless weird day...
