29/49那是新年夜晚，一位老人站在窗前。他滿眼哀傷地望著深監(jiān)色天空，在那里，星星如清澈平靜湖面上朵朵漂動白蓮；接著他將目光投向地面，那兒除了他還有幾個絕望人正走向人生終點——墳墓。在通往人生終點道路上，他已走過了60多段，除了過失和悔恨，他一無所獲。現(xiàn)在，他身體欠佳，精神空虛，心情憂傷，晚年缺乏安逸。

青春歲月如夢普通出現(xiàn)在他眼前，他回想起父親將他放在人生岔路口上莊重時刻。當初，他面前有兩條路：一條通向安寧、陽光燦爛地方，那里處處充滿了鮮花瓜果，充滿著柔和甜美歌聲；另一條則通向黑暗無底深淵，那里流淌不是清水而是毒液，那里魔鬼和毒蛇發(fā)出嘶嘶聲遲緩爬行。

他仰視天空．痛苦地哭喊著：“哦，青春，你回來吧!哦，父親，請把我重新放到人生路口上吧，我會做出更加好選擇?！比欢赣H和他青春都已一去不復返。30/49他看見燈光消逝在黑暗中，那便是他虛度時光；他看見一顆星星從空中隕落，消失了，那是象征了他自己。悔恨如同一支利箭，深深地刺進他心臟。接著，他記起童年時代朋友，他們曾與他一同踏上人生道路，但他們現(xiàn)已取得成功，受到人們尊敬，此刻正在幸福中歡度新年。

教堂高塔上鐘敲響了，這使他回想起父母在他年幼時對他愛，他們曾給予他教誨并為了他幸福祈禱上帝。可他偏偏選擇了一條錯誤道路。慚愧和悲傷使他再也不敢面對他父親所在天堂。他雙眼黯然無光，充滿著淚水，在絕望中，他大聲哭喊：

“回來吧，我青春!回來吧!”

青春真回來了，因為以上全部一切只是他在新年夜所做一場夢。他還年輕，當然他確實犯有過失；但還未墮入深淵；他依然能夠自由地走上通向安寧和光明之地道路。

那些依然在人生路口徘徊，不知該不該選擇光明大道年輕人啊，你們一定要記住：當許多年過后，你們在黑暗群山中艱難行走之時，再痛心疾首地呼喚：

“哦，回來吧、青春!哦，把我青春時光還給我!”，只會是徒勞無益。31/49-thedeep,darkcave,endless,poisonflowedinsteadofwater...
