where silence befalls
Bound by the hands of time
in starkness it enthralls
I discovered a forsaken
creature dwelling there
Existing amidst emptiness
consumed by despair
creeping slow and sly
Upon arid ground
with gleaming eyes
It witnesses the decay
plight of our earthly plight
As it fades into the abyss
vanishing in endless night
a flicker still persists
A light of life
acknowledged by darkness
Urging it to fight
with unwavering might
Against the void
and death's relentless blight
it reminisces
The beauty of life
love's tender kisses
But there's no path
to return and reclaim
For it is forever bound
in this realm's domain
building from lifeless clay
Gathering fragments
of bygone yesterdays
Piecing together
memories that didn't last
Creating a mosaic
from fragments of the past
and the stillness profound
It finds beauty
where life's defiance is found
With an inner flame
burning deep and bright
It dwells in the eternal realm
unveiling all its might
in the realm virtual
A reminder that life
can be more than mere ritual
In solitude and solitude
it reveals infinite worth
Offering boundless meanings
on this vast, lonely berth
where emptiness resides
Life spins with beauty
where brilliance abides
Unveiling infinite meanings
with each passing chance
In this eternal darkness
in this limitless expanse
