In the quiet corners where shadows blend,
Lies a world unknown, where dreams suspend.
A whisper calls from the depths of night,
Promising solace, a fleeting flight.

The colors swirl in a painted trance,
An escape from reality’s harsh dance.
Yet behind the veil of illusions bright,
Lurks a darkness that steals the light.

Chasing dreams through a hazy mist,
The heart seeks peace, the soul resists.
In the echo of silence, a silent plea,
For freedom from chains we cannot see.

Yet in the dawn, as the shadows fade,
The truth emerges, a debt unpaid.
For every promise the night bestows,
A price is paid as the daylight grows.
