Wheels of fate

The moon's pale glow fades memories
As time's relentless wheels cascade
Daymares haunt the traveler's path
Passing in life's swift aftermath

Brief moments slip, skip, and flip 
Amidst all the emptiness it envelopes
To Submit to the whims of the unknown
Seeking to even the uneven

Life carousel turn round and round
Tilting the fate of humanity to her knees 
Each twist and turn birthing new stories
Entangled in various webs of destinies

Every man with his own cross
Weighing heavy on his back 
In his search of a meaning to this chaos
Seeking clarity to the cluster of entanglements

In the depths of his uncertainty
Lies a darkness buried within
Embracing his inner true self
Through the trials and tribulations 

His inner man longs for solitude
But his life is beyond savage
Beyond the rhetoric of a better ‘morrow 
Just a pale memory under the fading moon
