Echoes of despair: Poems from the Abyss

Reflections of Defiance: Finding Light in the Dark

A drop of water, clear and pure,

Reflects the world, a vision sure,

Easy to read, easy to grasp,

But trapped within, a world unclasped.

For it's just a reflection, a surface gleam,

Bound by invisible lines, an ethereal stream,

As if by the hand of God, its limits drawn,

A boundary set, a destiny foregone.

Yet is it not enough, to be mere reflection,

To dwell in shadows, without objection?

Is there not a will, a strength to defy,

The fate imposed, from realms on high?

Darkness and emptiness, they encroach,

Devouring the light, leaving only a broach,

For in oblivion's grasp, the reflection fades,

Lost in the void, where light cascades.

But amidst the darkness, a flicker ignites,

A spark of defiance, amidst the nights,

For even in oblivion, hope finds a way,

To pierce the shadows, and light the day.
