The Darkness

By Aashi Purohit

Darkness is all I see.

Darkness is all I feel.

And in this darkness, insignificant; I just might be.

I stumbled and tumbled to my knees,

but no hand reached out to me.

Then suddenly, a light I could see.

Shining to the tune of the fate of my dreams.

"Oh, light!" I called desperately.

but it did not move,

just stood a few feet away from me.

So, foot after foot, I decided to march.

Till my fate became my own and I shown in the dark

Like the moon during the night

A little bruised, but a beautiful sight.
