Dark Clouds Had Gathered

DARK CLOUDS HAD GATHERED by Madhuri Rebecca Hembrom Penned down on Jan. 15, 2015 @ Calcutta, Bishops College, 2 pm Dark clouds had gathered So black and dark That, i almost lost hope; Hope to see the stars above, To feel the sunlight Face the sun Dark clouds had gathered Nevertheless, I tried And tried, Harder and harder Still holding on to that little bit of Hope Until one day, I gave up Dark clouds had gathered. It was so dark, You almost thought there was no dawn, Light seemed unreal; A Fantasy Found only in movies, stories, books And thoughts to explore. Dark Clouds had gathered. It's darkest near to Dawn A little Ray of Hope remained, somewhere hidden, Then I saw the first star, I got Scared, Thought it was Treachery. Dark Clouds had gathered. And more stars appeared Still I was Blinded by my Fear Didn't know what I feared the most? Stars or Clouds. Lived so long in darkness that light seemed but a dream Dark clouds had gathered. The first Ray of Light Blinded me, Shook my whole Being, The dark clouds were clearing Light was coming Dark clouds had gathered. Then like a Miracle in Life Fate conspired, Circumstances changed. We met; dark clouds departed, It was Light Again. Beautiful and Clear, Pure and Whole Dark clouds had gathered. Finally, Dark Clouds have Cleared, A Blessed Day Awaits Us, Welcomes Us. Fortune Smiles at Us, Stars Twinkle at us, Sun Shines Brightly at Us... We SMILE and LAUGH WE ARE LIKE BEACONS... Dark Clouds had Gathered.
