In Deep Chasm
Breaking the seal,
MELANCHOLY pushed through.
She fell into a wide chasm,
Too wide that none could reach across.
The more she tried to get out,
The deeper she got plunged into the abyss.
Felt she was fated to perish,
Struck on its jagged edges!
Her WISTFUL longings, gone awry.
She sees her fate GRIM.
In the SHROUD of DEPRESSION,
As she wraps herself,
What she sees before is a GLOOMY future,
And she stays so WITHDRAWN from the physical world.
In the pit of agony, as she lies,
Bewildered and blinking,
Wondering when her end would be,
FEELINGS of dread, haunt her.
Now a fervent prayer rises upwards,
From her smouldering heart.
‘Pass over me a breath of wind,
To cool off the steam building inside’!
