**A World of Shadows**br br In the quiet corners of memory,br Where shadows linger and whispers play,br I find the thoughts of yesterday,br A tapestry woven with threads of time.br br There, a sun-kissed morning blooms,br Golden rays painting dew-kissed petals,br And laughter dances on the breeze,br As innocence weaves its fragile spell.br br Yet, deeper still, shadows gather,br The weight of sorrows etched in lines,br Regrets like stones upon my chest,br Moments lost, dreams left behind.br br And oh, the loves that once burned bright,br Their embers now mere echoes,br Flickering in the caverns of remembrance,br A bittersweet symphony of what was.br br But even as the years march on,br And the canvas of memory fades,br I hold these thoughts close,br For they are the colors that paint my soul.
