I don't really know how to write; one thing I do with Hwnic is to describe how unique emotions are stored/processed in my mind.

The chilly wind picks up where it was once paradise
Under the polyurethane sky and replacement sunlight where you had fallen in love (but is no more).
In villages once familiar now unwelcoming,
feeling so small under the dome, where it glows
-- perpetual morphing shapes that trace upwards to the top of the world --
Yes, the sunlit landscape/barrens which you had walked,
it's a beautiful place, but a storm is near.
Nothing grows in the poison-laden soil for twenty years.
The burning passion, formless anger, and inspiration have all dissipated.
But people will not condemn you for your failure, nor dismiss you for your ineptitude.
Go, and live the way you will.

Notes

  • Connected speech complicates the pronunciation here: defuirn lsvo is [dɛ́fʏ̂nˑɺəɫzʋɔ̆], cqozeigka is [çqó̞zɛɨ̯ʕ̯xâ], xornq geq ge is [xó̞ɾɤ̃ʔgɤ́ɴqɤ] where standalone ge is [ŋə̃].
