The crystal springs that chill the living

Конкурсное сообщение

The crystal springs that chill the living,
The Spirits save as Springs of Life.
The Shadows have a constant feeling
For dazzling drops and streaming light!

The luring magic of the water:
Their rush - of beastly, deadly force.
Frequenting areas of worship,
They strive but fail to quench a thirst.

The sleeping often sense the presence
Of the beyond, of shadows stray,
The night remarkably preserving
The calm of homes where they stay.

… I am the one to visit places
Where forests blacken all inside.
But brilliant, all glaring sprinkles
Are a leading lamp across this dark.

I am alone in front of ancient
And graven idles - sacrifice.
As dimly seen: masked faces menace,
The winds are lacing howls and cries!

In front of walls of trees colossal,
The only one to know the way,
I leave the Living in their places
For lustre of the splashing rays!
