**An Ode to Woe**

Oh, Woe! You shadowed specter of the night,


In whispers soft, you weave your somber thread,
A cloak of sorrow, heavy with your weight,
In the silence deep, where dreams lie dead.

You stroll through gardens once alive with cheer,


And turn the vibrant blooms to muted gray.
In every heart where joy was held so dear,
You plant a seed of doubt and lead astray.

Yet in your grasp, a cruel beauty flows,


A testament to life’s most tender ties.
For in despair, the truth of longing grows,
Disguised as tears that swell and fall like skies.

You teach us strength in moments frail and fraught,


Each gasp of breath a brush with fate’s dark hand.
In battles fought while mercy’s light is sought,
We learn to rise, to bend, yet still to stand.

Though shadows dance upon your whispered breath,


You echo stories etched in every scar.
For in your presence, too, there blooms a depth—
A nuanced tale of light that’s found afar.

So here I stand, embraced by your embrace,


Not just a harbinger of bitter end.
For through your lens, I learn to see life’s grace,
And from my sorrow, stronger roots transcend.

Oh, Woe! You fragile muse of endless strife,


Remind us all of joy, of hope's refrain.
In darkest depths, we glimpse the light of life,
And through the hurt, emerge to love again.
