Hollow Aspirations

14/8/2019

Moonbeam silvers leaves

Sunlight edges waves
Dragon's breath shrouds lofty peaks
Beauty soon swallowed within shadow​
When shadow descends
The mind  bends
around self-centred singularity

Laughter spreads  joy
Love softens fear
Faith in self illuminates future
Drown in dead heart's fathomless depths

Once light shadow dispels
One tries to make well
Selfishness' collateral slaughter

Plans for study and career
Dreams of friendship and family
Ephemeral joys once loved so much
All futile aspirations spoken hollowly

Wait for shadow's inevitable return
Those cycles that coldly burn
On pyre of ultimate selfishness
