Melancholy




There's this aching inside me

From where all the years roll back memories

They weren't kind, nor were they cruel

Just fragments of time, poignant and full.


Looking pensively at the sky

wherefore the meaning of all those years gone by

care I remember them lest they disappear or fade

into clouds of blue ambers, softly unmade.

2024

I did not want (to go into) the new year

Afraid all the unfinished dreams,

Will again, knock

on my heart's door.


Would it be fair, I asked

That, the reminders of yesteryears' sorrow,

are the unwelcome guests,

That, I sadly can't deny.


Let my feet take speed,

Let they never waver,

Let their path be set.


Rephrase by ChatGPT :)

I hesitated to step into the new year, Fearing that all the dreams left undone Would once more come knocking At the door of my heart.

I wondered if it was fair, That the reminders of past sorrows Remain as unwelcome guests, Whom I sadly cannot dismiss.

May my feet quicken their pace, May they never falter.
