Tahera Mannan Poet Rispetto

Miracle's Shadow

A dark and evil place of dying hopes
Walls thick, cold crawling with vermin weeping sound
Musty smell induced by acidic yellow soaps
Every part of the wasting body darkness had bound
Bruised mental psyche which living barely copes
Images of past sins like ghost rise and hounds
Through a hole in the broken and barbed window
Comes a ray of light, miracle's shadow
