~::~ 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
