Resilience
Oppression’s shadow looms near,
Helplessness descends, and sorrow’s clear.
Regret awakens, a bittersweet refrain,
Longing to forget, but love remains.
In eyes once bright, a light now gleams,
A vision of what could never be tamed.
Misunderstandings creep, like silver strands,
A reflection of love’s entwined hands.
This game of hearts, a delicate dance,
Evaded truths, a wistful, second chance.
Flowers bloom anew, devotion’s question reigns,
Will love’s beauty flourish, or wither in vain?
Time etches lines, a map of the soul,
A net of memories, forever whole.
In crowded squares, new tales unfold,
Brokers of hope, with empathy, grow old.
Fish stranded, nets cast in the sea,
Deception’s game, a reality.
Yet, amidst the chaos, beauty shines,
A glimmer of hope, a heart that entwines.
