My Future Self


The spent sun sank on the transit, 
took away the colors of the chameleon sky.
The masked face of clever craft on display
enticed me to walk entranced
on the dark garden pathway.
The creepy night sipped the fluid dreams,
I didn’t hear the footfall of evil. 
The devious intent prowled to devour sanity
as the facade dissolved in the dark hour.
The desolate domain of fright feral
encased within the gloomy ground 
under the dismal sky haunted me
as the sinister sly creature of sin,
ingesting the essence prime, 
consumed my soul. 

The tortuous path up the arduous mountain 
of the tormented life I’d acquired,
I then scaled at the beckon of destiny,
as the solemn summit awaited me.
I followed the crumbling trail of agony 
through the surging storm of strife. 

I crossed with unstinted devotion 
the designed gateway God installed for me,
I placed steadfast trust on His benevolence 
and on His prescribed gift of liberation, 
faith showed me the righteous path 
in the dark night of sordid squalls. 

The raging ocean of turbulent life 
heaved untamed waves in grueling tempest, 
I sailed unquestioning at His call 
and found the final ecstatic anchorage. 
I got guided by His omnipresent beacon 
with unwavering dedication.

In the dark alley of mortal suffering, 
filled with the mist of profound despair, 
I lighted the candle of hope, 
retrieved the anguished soul from the abyss, 
illumined by God’s generous grace,
got suffused with the radiance of divine bliss.
