Shadow Life

Life changes after the new dawn
No longer will it be viewed the same
Witness to the sun in the sky
A different trajectory
Driven by changed emotions inside
Joy and fulfillment lost
Bitter disappointment turning hours to days
Changing the script
The thinking mould of decades
Shattered; turned to dust
Its mask discarded now

Silent remorse
A watery smile
Key turning the lock for a final time
Those wondrous views in the first light
Lost now
Regrettable silence
As eyes turn away

Nothing can be the same
Something stolen
Taken by the disruptors of the night
Day light hours a sham
A mere shadow of what it once was
Never to return

Life will never be the same
All that was lost
Can never be recovered
Magic is lost
Only bitter survival remains....
