Dwindling Soul

You seem to have got it

But later escapes your hand

It's what the heart calls dear

But natures enigma takes it away

One act, another act and gone

Life taking a turn

You give your all

But the deal cut short

You run the race

But another wins

You rise with hopes

You set in despair

You toil zealously

For a zero reward

The dwindling soul

But now you say

That a morning will come

Gathering by faith

They say life is unfair

Though it has its course

Deeper you go searching

The outcome is void

Your mind settles at lost

Your face plight is post

It's when life means nothing

And the feeling you ain't something

Dreams done, visions vanished

And the whole of you despairs

The future doomed

The dwindling soul

but

it ain't the end

rise and walk
