Light Into Darkness

Out of nowhere; the lights shattered Within a moment; the darkness has filled, My heart was no more; in a mood of lightness My life has suddenly; twisted and disappeared. It was like an abandon thunderstorm Came into my life and destroyed my destiny, I found myself in an isolated nightmare Where I was able to define reality. I clarified it as an empty hole Where it was filled with cold water, As a candy with a taste of bitterness And a war which never made it better. Though I wondered through years If the lights will appear again, It’s like living in a desert And wishing it could rain. At last I gave up and sat On the solid chair of torture, I’m still sitting and waiting If the darkness is ever going to departure.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

"It’s like living in a desert And wishing it could rain." I've moments of sadness and desperation when I feel the same. It is like living in a desert. It rarely rains. But, it rains anyway. Sincerely, your Ethiopian fellow
