~::~ Entombed Symphony ~::~

Kidnapped, captured, stuck in a box shaped room

Untouched, nurtured, locked up with no windows

With nothing to do I thought this was doom

 

Creeping sun rays form a musical note

Music becomes my eternal saviour

 

Dusk brings cacophony of crickets’ vroom

Stillness rings in the air, when zephyr blows

Moonlight streams through the cracks like misty spume

 

In peace, I sit with words swarming in quotes

Silence for companion and muse – nature

 

Sleep eludes me; I’m lost in my own gloom

On brink of sanity, hum myself slow

Dawn carries dewdrops & musky perfume

 

Struggling in cold I clutch on to my coat

Awaiting for strong sun to shine later

 

It feels like spring, maybe flowers abloom

Wafting scents of honeysuckle and rose

Eyes crave to lay sight on colourful plumes

 

Tears stream down, a stifled scream in my throat

Pondering my fate, recite my prayer

 

With renewed faith, compositions consume

Music uplifts, whilst in agony’s throes

Until destiny strikes, I stay entombed

 

Seasons changed, but my habitat resume

Music strengthens, amidst turmoil and woes

Kidnapped, captured, stuck in a box shaped room

Until fate decides, I remain entombed
