The Dark Night and The Moonlight

By Ananya Anindita Jena

As the moon and stars blanketed the sky in

Their warm embrace and love within

The dark path in the woods glowed up

And so does a hope in me. 

Life seemed somber and surrounding blank

Body went numb with the mental clank

The voices within me created havoc 

A virulent whirlpool beneath which deep I sank. 

Responding to the voices was the only option

My resulting behaviour created heavy emotions

Death shackled my mind with gruesome images

I found in myself someone beyond recognition. 

The despicable Me still needed love 

A hope and understanding all above 

I put my faith beyond everything else

And soon I see a rising dove. 

The woods that glowed under the moon

Echoed the pain that I endured

The moonbeam was the faith that shone in me

And I was assured to be anew soon. 

Now the past was left behind

And the present became a blessed time

The future apprehension are taken in a positive side 

And I breathe again.
