The Line Of Gold

By Sara Garg

The darkest days

In despair and misery

In the gloom of clouds

With parched land

When you walk and walk

Not an end in sight

Not a drop of water

But dismay all around

No plant for oxygen

No drink for thirst

No food for hunger

No bliss left for life

There is no reason for me

To keep tiring myself out

To take one step after another

And let myself drown.

But I saw

The sliver of gold

The shine in the black sky

The hope back in life.

I witness that

I strive for that

The line of sheen

It's the beginning and end.
