"Reflections Unmasked"
In twilight's shadow, whispers of time,
A fear entwined, a silent chime.
The dance with age, a relentless waltz,
Echoes of solitude, life's bitter salts.
Beneath the moon, where shadows cast,
A tapestry of memories, fading fast.
The fear takes root in the aging heart,
A solo voyage as companions depart.
Garden blooms once vibrant and bold,
Now wilted petals, stories untold.
Brush strokes of life on a canvas gray,
A palette of moments, drifting away.
In the garden of dreams, where hopes were sown,
The fear emerges, a garden overgrown.
Alone, the brush caresses the canvas cold,
Sketches of a future, with tales untold.
Yet, amidst the fear, resilience blooms,
A spirit that transcends impending gloom.
Culinary symphonies, a taste of grace,
High school dreams that time can't erase.
Paint the years with colors bright,
Gardens of love in the fading light.
For in the tapestry of life's design,
A resilient heart, a solace to find.
So, fear not the years, the ticking clock,
For within you, a universe to unlock.
In the solitude, find the strength to be,
A masterpiece of life, eternally free.
