Tears cascade,
serenade.
Smiles parade,
masquerades.
Search for aid,
promenade.
Slowly fade,
everyday.
Fears restrict,
contradict.
Pains afflict,
to addict.
Time predicts,
then convicts.
Life depicts,
what exist.
Years conceive,
then retrieve.
Eyes deceive,
hearts believe.
Still naive
thoughts relieve.
Hands receive
what minds weave.
