When music does not
Manage to soothe,
The frayed nerves
Of a soul so lost,
That it knows not,
How to regain
A semblance of footing,
On a jagged terrain,
Of overwhelming pain –
And nor does beauty,
Or the pursuit,
Of a beloved hobby
That once fostered peace –
Perhaps it is then,
That the soul begins,
A journey inwards
To discovery.
