Rise and Fall

BY SHALINI KAPOOR

In shadows deep where whispers dwell,
Where death's embrace casts its spell.
Among and out, of night's dark shroud,
The journey starts, both long and loud...

Through veils of mist, where clouds enfold,
A story of life and tales untold,
In every wisp, a mystery unsung,
Where souls entwine, and destinies hung...

Yet from the ashes, new life does rise,
Beneath the bleak and stormy skies,
In cycles spun, in cycles twirled,
Rebirth emerges, a wondrous world!

But tread with care, for 'neath it all,
Lies realms of fire, where demons call,
In hell's domain, the lost ones roam,
Caught in echoes of their own bemoan...

So heed the call of life's sweet breath,
Embrace the dance of life and death,
For through the clouds, beyond the night,
Awaits the dawn of eternal light....
