Unwishful

Amidst widening dreams, there are shrinking landscapes

Viewless euphoria to camouflage the prevailing emotions

Whispering heart unable to decipher the heartless transformations

In the meantime, the wind is crowded with uncontrollable fear

Mankind’s folly or a fate unraveled by constant indignation

Whispers escape through the gaps and unheard for ages

Unceremonious freedom thrust upon an unassuming journey

Favoured greed push aside life for the love of things worldly

A microscopic future has lesser chance of being read by the eyes

All around the silence is constricting and everything in despair

Gaze of the generous Sun is not enough to enlighten a landscape

Dearth of feelings carve out a portion of life with strife
