Tunnel

A long train journey,on a bright summer day.
Majestic mountains, adorn our pathway
Engrossing scenery,the windows display,
still no one cares and no one enjoys
suddenly the train entered into a tunnel,to our dismay

No incongruity between day and night
and it's neither evening nor twilight.
Trapped inside the train,nothing is bright;
Darkness cloaks our sight,
made us yearn for the light.

Oh,at last perceived the tunnel's end there.
The magical lights proliferate everywhere
and put an end to all the nightmares.
Learn to cherish the things round us.
Now that's the lesson, the life pursues

Yes, a tunnel is so strange to go through and comparing it to life, when things go dark like in a tunnel. Nicely done!!

Thank you for taking me on this metaphorical train journey, Supraja! It is only when we miss something that we realize its value! As you aptly say: Lets "learn to cherish the things round us." Regards // paul
