The Winds Of Change

The winds of change

Have swept through our tree of life

And stripped the branches bare

 

Naked limbs

Resembling gnarled arms

Reach for what used to be

But is no longer there

 

Left cold and alone

Any remnants of love or happiness

Has been thoroughly erased

 

A twisted skeleton

Of a once flourishing life

Now stands in its place

 

Cobwebs have become its security blanket

And parasites its company

In a forest of misery

 

Though there’s still evidence of life

There is no consciousness

No hope or purpose

 

Just an empty shell

That’s smells of

Regret and sorrow

 

Whose decaying bark

Is just a symbolic reminder

Of our faded dreams

Which no longer serve us

 

Just a silent tomb

Which echoes the sadness

Of empty today’s

And a forgotten tomorrows

Every striking line is

Every striking line is sculpted from intense and vivid metaphors which ignite the emotion of profound sadness. A powerful experience, a testament to your skill. Loved it
