Saptadeepa Das Poet Rhyme

Seeking the Light Beyond Every Shadow

There were nights when silence wore a crown,
And heavy clouds pulled every dream down.
The moon hid her face behind curtains of gray,
While hope seemed distant, drifting away.
I walked through valleys where echoes would stay,
Carrying burdens I could not convey.
The road was broken, the sky was unsure,
Yet something within whispered, endure.
For every shadow that darkened my sight,
Was born from a source that once carried light.
And every sorrow that watered my soul
Was shaping a heart still learning to grow.
I searched not for answers written in stone,
But for the courage to walk on alone.
To trust that dawn keeps its sacred vow,
Even when darkness surrounds me now.
Then slowly I noticed the smallest flame—
A kindness, a memory, someone who came.
A bird at sunrise, a flower in rain,
Tiny reminders that hope still remained.
The shadows did not suddenly depart;
They lingered awhile in the corners of my heart.
Yet light was never the absence of night—
It was the strength to continue the fight.
So now when the world grows restless and cold,
I gather the fragments of faith I still hold.
For beyond every shadow, however deep,
There are promises waking while dreamers sleep.
And beyond every fear, beyond every scar,
Shines a truth more constant than any star:
That no darkness is endless, no storm can stay,
For light is already finding its way.
So I journey onward, through loss and through glow,
Learning that becoming is slower than snow.
Seeking the light beyond every shadow I see—
And discovering, at last, that the light lives in me.
