Yesterday’s Rainbow
Yesterday, the world was painted in vivid hues.
The sky, a canvas of endless blue,
The grass, a lush, vibrant green,
Birdsong danced on the gentle breeze.
Today, the colours have drained away,
Leaving only shades of grey.
Stillness wraps around me like a heavy fog,
A silence so loud it echoes in my mind.
I walk through the remnants of what once was,
Haunted by memories of laughter and light.
The joy that filled my days has faded,
Replaced by an emptiness, a void.
Everything I cherished has slipped through my fingers,
Like sand in an hourglass, gone forever.
The rainbow of yesterday’s dreams
Has vanished, never to return.
