LABYRINTH
The house is dim and silent day and night
Even when the Sun is bright,
Loneliness follows as my own shadow
It is dreary as Moscow’s winter snow
 
Looking for that Daffodil that can’t be found
In the clay pot or on the naked ground,
A world where many hedge on savvy
I am numbered with the daffy
 
In my mind is this constant daemon
A plague that’s worse than mammon,
Constantly surrounded side by side
From it, I cannot hide
 
Intrinsically immersed with pain
My spirit begins to wane,
Faint is my hope for daedal
I may yet see it, but when immortal!

Without constant restoration we are not ready for the perpetual assault of Hell, or the stern afflictions of Heaven, or even the strife within!
