I Will Be Your Light

In the sunshine days you walk the sated life In dream-paved scented path of rose garden Along the trail of flitting butterfly you chase The lattice of joy afloat in the charmed mind. When the night falls with shroud of despair The surging storm shatters your somber sky The enchanting stars disappear behind cloud In trying times you desire to see rays of hope. You crumble as a wreck in melancholic ruins Stow the debris of life in depth of depression Desolation enwraps you with pall of dejection Search vainly in grim darkness for the lost soul. I will kindle for you a candle with divine glow It will shine like full moon in your sky bright You will rise from the debris as a new entity In dismal dark night when I will be your light. ___________________ March 11, 2022 Contest : Being A Light To Others Sponsored by : Anoucheka Gangabissoon

Congratulations Subimal. I might be wrong about the poetic terminology here but 'pathetic fallacy' comes to mind here in your heartfelt poem..when weather appears to have human emotions. "Night falls with shroud of despair". Great read whether it is or isn't pathetic fallacy. :) Cheers - Gary
