Unsure Future
The dawn dissolves in weary sighs,
a canvas cracked by hollow cries.
The road ahead—uncertain, blind—
a whispered war of fate and mind.
The moonlight limps on borrowed time,
its silver shroud—a fleeting mime.
Stars blink, unsure if they should glow,
uncertain what the heavens know.
Each moment drips like melting glass,
reflections warped in time’s morass.
The past still lingers, cold, estranged,
the present flickers, tense, deranged.
Yet through the fog, a voice persists,
a distant hum in clenched-up fists.
Hope claws through dusk with tattered grace,
though time still wears a hidden face.
a canvas cracked by hollow cries.
The road ahead—uncertain, blind—
a whispered war of fate and mind.
The moonlight limps on borrowed time,
its silver shroud—a fleeting mime.
Stars blink, unsure if they should glow,
uncertain what the heavens know.
Each moment drips like melting glass,
reflections warped in time’s morass.
The past still lingers, cold, estranged,
the present flickers, tense, deranged.
Yet through the fog, a voice persists,
a distant hum in clenched-up fists.
Hope claws through dusk with tattered grace,
though time still wears a hidden face.
