Golden Requiem
Reflection
In twisted gold, she lies entwined, a serpentine form, both fierce and divine.
Her mouth agape, a silent scream, as if the very weight of her metallic cloak is crushing her soul.
The light dances upon her visage, a macabre waltz of shadows and gold, a paradox of beauty and torment.
Her eyes, closed in rapture or anguish, hide the truth behind a mask of serene despair.
The tendrils of gold that ensnare her seem to pulse with a life of their own, a morbid yet mesmerizing ballet.
In this tableau of gilded suffering, we find a strange, haunting beauty, a reflection of our own entrapments, our own golden chains.
She is a prisoner of her own radiance, a martyr to the allure of the precious metal that both adorns and suffocates her.
And yet, in her captivity, she is free, a symbol of the human condition, forever bound to the whims of fate, yet unbroken in spirit.
