DIMINISHING HOPE AND LIFE

 DIMINISHING HOPE AND LIFE

Rainbows create dreams, quickly fizzle,
Dramatic heart procreate love needle,
Figment of imagination, peacock's tail,
Combination of colors fade, pains nail, (1)

Nightingale sings in the night, melancholy,
The outcry of a suffering soul touchingly,
Flocks of birds chirping, wings spread,
Bottomless sorrows, horrors well fed, (2)

Bright dawn, raincloud shower heavily,
Absent the sun grinding to a halt, fiction,
Aspiration like morning fog melts lovely,
Resemble the flurry of floods, emotion, (3)

Mind painted an eye-catching mural lost,
It was the thought process crash, a lot,
The seed sprouts into a tall tree, uprooted,
Human life believes, achieves the fruit, (4)

Verdant valley, glorious sunshine exists,
The picture is a barren field yet resists,
Covers grassland meadows, life sleeps,
These are dreams or reality soul weep, (5)

Zigzag path, a jigsaw, from cavern, hill,
The cliff and chasm, mind bugles drill,
Spherical Earth, path is straight, bend,
Apparent portrayal betray life defend, (6)

Playing cards, illusion collapse, visible,
Discover scope, escape, and are capable,
The world eludes the game, disappears,
Life is distinct, path is clear, point near, (7)

The night, dummy light, lamppost says,
Diminishing life and hope wish to stay,
The beginning and end challenge test,
Hypnosis or paranoia fail, heart detect. (viii)
