Through the valley of shadows
Suddenly you woke up in the valley of death shadows
with no light for any guide and nothing for a comfort,
only darkness perfectly impenetrable and opaque,
like hell itself all of a sudden fallen down to earth.
It's only to climb up again the long and dreadful way
from bottom of despair, one slow step at a time,
with arduous tortuous labour, patiently and carefully
and never to lose hope and sight of the salvation.
Just go on and carry on the unendurability,
the burden of the suffering, and you shall be rewarded
with the glory of survival and the miracle of life
to be able to start living once again
with some acquired extra wisdom in addition
of experience and of have had the honour
of the triumph of the victory and conquest over death
with the pure will and power of the soul and personality,
the vicissitude of your integrity proved worthy
to continue its existence on its own with confidence.
