Paternal Illness 

The vat of life 
Strife torn 
Within 
All issues, compounds; catalysed 
Scorned oblivion; materialized 
Fear widened eyes. 
Pastel vista 
Shuttered green 
Screen, hung ajar 
Hope filled within 
Dooms shadow cast 
Half ordered rooms 
Wherein 
A weary souls duality 
Undivided by reality 
Awaits a dawn.
