Life In the Dark

Life in the dark

Sorrow and melancholy,
The reflections of our dark inside,
Are just like an opaque window,
That never permeated any light,

Sometimes sad state of ignorance,
Urges us to thrive in the dark,
Sullen expressions on the face,
As if Iniquitous plot against the kind,

Fumbling around in the ebony of night,
And disheartened over poor plight,
Darkest hour is just before the dawn,
It gets brightened with new aurora at horizon,

The unenlightened preserve the unjust,
Sour temper and unending ascending lust,
Only if we could imbue divine light inside,
Can undo all negatives of heavenly life,


Heart burns within as an ash in the fire,
Why not unveil the euphoric attire ?
Let the dusky night ride down the sky,
And usher in the new gala morning !

Beautifully said, Dr. Upma!.... The light is easy to find and all we need to do is look for it. Though sometimes, on our darkest days, that light seems to fade away before we can reach it.... I really enjoyed this wonderful poem! Good luck in Charlotte's contest!
