Silence acts like—
Somberness's sepulchral symphony
Around grit-globes,
where courage once revolved

Spookystorms spiraled—
Where charcoaled confidence,
Heretofore crept daringly;
Matchsticks of hijacked hope—
didst burn brutely in
the pyre of negligence

Luck's lackluster lilies—
Sprout and thrive where
peonies of perseverance—
once germinated and fruited
in the flowerpots of daffodil dusks
