~ Promethean Fire… ~ 
☆
In the frozen silences,
a secret torrent sleeps,
A world beholds the facade,
while it silently weeps
A maelstrom churns within,
with a tempest’s roar,
A dichotomy of calm
and turbulent core
She dons myriad masks,
a master of disguise,
Transmuting fiery passions
into the misty sighs
A virtuoso of veiled truths
and scores of hidden pain,
A deep somber symphony,
where shadows silently reign
Life’s ephemeral dance,
a fleeting reprieve,
A pas de deux of light and
darkness, we grieve
The seasons whisper mysteries,
as the winds harshly blow,
A bittersweet somber requiem,
for dreams that wither slow
A Promethean fire, that once
used to burn bright,
Now smolders, a glowing
ember’s faintly dying light…
