Whispers of the Fallen: A Daughter's Lament



In the quiet of the night, where shadows softly fall,  

I sit alone, where once there were voices, now just a hollow call.  

The earth took more than ground beneath, it tore apart my heart,  

In the landslide’s cruel embrace, my world was torn apart.


Mama’s laughter, soft and warm, now echoes in the past,  

Papa’s gentle, steady hands, I felt their touch last.  

My sister’s smile, a guiding light, now lost beneath the clay,  

In one swift, merciless moment, they were all swept away.


I search the skies for answers, but the stars give no reply,  

Just silent, distant twinkling in a cold, unfeeling sky.  

The mountains stand like sentinels, indifferent to my pain,  

They hold my dearest in their grasp, under the fallen rain.


I cry out to the heavens, but my voice is lost in wind,  

No arms to hold me close, no solace can I find.  

The world is full of strangers now, in a home I don’t belong,  

Each day a painful echo, of a life that’s come undone.


But somewhere deep within, a seed of strength remains,  

To carry on this heavy heart, though bound in grief and chains.  

For though they’re gone, they live in me, in memories I keep,  

In every tear that falls, in every breath I breathe.


I’ll walk this path alone, though it cuts me to the core,  

For in my heart, they walk with me, forever, evermore.

"Solitary Flight"

Image
On wings of dreams, my spirit soars, Yet in their absence, uncertainty roars. Hope to grasp my goals, I implore, Seeking that day, secure and sure. Alone I stand, a self-grown tree, From a single seed, I found my decree. In moments frail, when odds abound, I crumble, weep, on solitude's ground. No soul to fathom my hidden sorrow, Inequity's hand, I've borne tomorrow. Wealth on display, yet peace denied, Loneliness dwells, a constant tide. No love to warm this heart of stone, Though to others, my love is shown. They cling for gain, their motives clear, No one to stay, no one to endear. A mirage of love, a desert's grace, In this solitary, endless chase.

"Beneath Celestial Wings: Dreams of a Girl's Journey Through Time"

Image
In the realm of dreams, a girl aspires, To soar on wings, her spirit on fire. A longing to transcend earthly bounds, To dance with clouds, where freedom resounds. In twilight's embrace, she closes her eyes, Envisioning a canvas of cerulean skies. Imagining a world beyond mortal strife, Where beauty unfolds in the afterlife. Her dreams take flight on ethereal wings, Exploring realms where the soul sings. A tapestry woven with colors untold, As she envisions a destiny to unfold. Through cycles of life, a cosmic ballet, Reincarnation's mystique in the astral array. A phoenix rising from the ashes of time, Each rebirth, a new paradigm. In the tapestry of existence, threads intertwine, Past and future, a cosmic design. She dreams of lifetimes, an eternal quest, A soul's journey, an unwavering zest. A butterfly emerging from a cocoon, A symphony played on the moon. In each rebirth, a chance to refine, The essence of self, an eternal design. Through the corridors of time, she weav...

"Resilience Unveiled”

Image
In childhood's realm, as an only child, I thrived, My parents' love, the warmth in which I dived, With every sunrise, my world felt so alive, In their embrace, my heart was deeply tied.   But life took a turn, down a different trail, A marriage bond that cloaked me in betrayal, They hungered for my gold, my heart grew pale, My father's gifts, like fleeting dreams, set sail.   In that abyss, my spirit felt confined, A web of greed, deceit that undermined, The love I'd cherished, now cruelly maligned, In shadows deep, my happiness declined.   But through the darkest nights, I found a way, Education's beacon lit the path, I'd say, A job, well-paying, where dreams could sway, I vowed to leave my past's disarray.   With every paycheck, my spirit soared anew, No longer trapped, my strength and hope in view, I stand today, a life that's tried and true, No more tears, no more false ado.   I've learned that riches aren't just gold's embrace, True weal...
