When long periods of night
descend on paths unknown
keep going anyway
It's just a matter of time
Clouds of darkness
that seem like an eternity
are sent way scurrying
with the first rays of light
In stealth always,
daybreaks arrive
Working their way
slowly first, a simmering fire
to restore faith, they aspire
flushed with passionate rage
Dawn bursts into flames
slaying demonic vestiges
defeating despair

DeleteYes... Despite the long paths in the night... That's the lesson in Life right?? We need to keep going on.... Not give up at all.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Ramya. The moment you lose hope and faith, it becomes difficult to live life happily.
DeleteThere is always dawn waiting at the end of the dusk. We need to understand the lesson and keep moving, no matter what. Lovely poem, Uma.
