From Shadows to Song
Listen to poem:
A macabre waltz across my mind's worn stage,
Shadows pirouette, a heavy starlit cage.
The echo of yesterday's mournful plea,
Whispers through the maze where hope can't flee.
Lies weave a chorus, sung in mournful chains,
Worthless burdens etched with self-made stains.
But tears dry up, revealing depths unseen,
A spark ignites, where resilience has been.
Even in darkness, a sliver pierces through,
A song unfolds, whispering dreams anew.
The fading waltz, a story etched in night,
Yields to morning's dawn, with strength taking flight.
