Dark Clouds Had Gathered

DARK CLOUDS HAD GATHERED

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.
