Choice

If I say, „Yes…”, your warm breath will wrap me, 
Just like my silk long shawl, around my neck.
And if I nod, I know I won’t  be free;
I’ll drown in your eyes, you’ll keep me in check.

And if I say “No!”, I’ll regain calmness.
My heart will begin regular beating
Though I can’t still notice this world’s brightness,
Can’t spot freshness of the forthcoming spring…

So I may choose between Heaven and Hell,
Between fire and live-giving water.
But I got mixed up, I can’t do well
For Reason, Intuition, and Wonder…
