LANTERN IN THE DARK

LANTERN IN THE DARK

Grieving and mourning, I spent too many days,
I counted the hours with eye–droplets.
Feeble was I and muffled with dismay,
Enough I had, enough this way.
But now I woke up, yawing too late,
To lit up the lantern, to start a new day.

What to fear now?
Since the worst has passed by;
I have to show them all,
That I too can -Survive.
Those who have discoloured my picture,
This light of my lantern, will again make it clear.

Time yet –will return again
As still the earth’s turning;
Not have I, all forgotten
As growing is my revenge within.
Laugh not at me, for sparks are still hidden;
Tiny glitters of lantern, will ablaze all in seconds.

Hardening my soul, I’ve killed innocence,
Sin within is bitter, than heart of vengeance.
Near is the hour, when you’ll repent.
HE’s seen so far, will see it till the end.
Dark is the path and dark are the lanes,
With lantern in hand I’ll cover all the pains.
