Requiem

A man once pondered
   On fate’s deep scars
As his mind wandered,
   Drawn by the stars.

Gazing in sorrow
   Up at the moon,
He mourned the morrow
   Ever too soon.

Warmth and seclusion
   Were his to seek,
Golden illusions
   When days grew bleak.

Many reflections
   Swelled from his past:
Dire recollections,
   Forceful and vast.

Silence and stillness
   Haunt him again:
Such is his illness,
   His requiem.
