The Darkness

By Ankita Patra

Trees are rooted but serenely navigating with the trembling nature. 

Amidst that few got swayed away. 

But few are acquainted with

Navigating unflinchingly in this chaos. 

Darkness emerged victorious, 

Roads awaiting, though unsure of the existence of alternatives. 

The flash of light giving a subtle insinuation of the ways forward, 

But that's absolutely cryptic

Oh, sorry,this doesn't make me apprehensive, 

Rather it's Fortifying my spirit. 

I shall not succumb to, 

I defy your silence, my spirit unbowed

Oh Darkness, pardon avowed.
