Poets' Power

Shadows, invisible in broad daylight
Rule our fall with a dreary evil touch
Laughing at our blinded sorrowful plight
And our gaze as we drown in life’s trench

Days on this Earth have never been rosy
Should you have thought of life as beautiful
Then your mind must have been one, so dreamy
Said they with grins on their faces – awful!

Yet, poets left their rooms to share their art
By singing verses out to the whole world
Who, calmed, let their light give them a new start
One which bid positive dawns to unfold

May peace invade the shadows’ evil show!
May winds, with fervour, over us, now blow!
