Echoes of Fear
In fleeting joy, a tremor takes hold
A dread that whispers, "Will it soon grow old?"
Time, a thief, steals moments, leaving none
Leaving me with fear, like autumn's withered sun
Winter's dark nights, a shroud that's cast
Amplify my loneliness, forever to last
Even amidst crowds, I've felt the sting
Of isolation's solitude, an endless, hollow ring
When sorrow's dark, music's gentle breeze
Soothes my heart, a melancholy's ease
Why do I seek solace in art's gentle grasp?
Perhaps in creative expression, my heart finds a clas
p
In art's embracing arms, I find a peaceful nest
A loyal companion, where love and fear find rest
When dreams descend, and darkness softly falls
My mind's a battlefield, where shadows hear my calls
Before slumber's veil, tasks undone stare me down
A jumble of thoughts, a resolve that's lost its crown
Yet, courage and hope within me slowly wane
A fading light, a heart that's lost its way, in vain
Dark hues, a somber palette, soothe my soul
For now, each question fills my heart with a troubled role.
