DARKNESS

Its a winter night,
With no moon in the sight,
Just a clear dark sky;
I look up on it ,
But see nothing;
I think about this life.
We live life as if ,
We will never die
And die feeling ,
We have never lived.
The one with heart bereft of values,
Is like living corpse.
Just engulfed in worldly pleasure,
We forget the purpose of life.
But one day when darkness falls,
We find nothing around but,
Ourselves in gloom.
All people around whom our life revolved gone;
All objects we kept hugged to bosom worthless;
All the places we loved to go bizzare;
All what we loved to eat filth;
All we would want to know is,
What we have done;
We are left to wonder,
If any of our deed was worth,
Did it give real eternal happiness to someone.
In our life,
If we have one thing ,
We can die for.
If there are people around,
We can give up our life,
So they can continue living,and
With them wanting to do the same in disguise.
If there is any place where we go,
Makes a difference there.
If ever we tried to feed our soul with spiritualism;
All this we will wonder,
When darkness dawn upon.
For one who kept the gods word,
Searched meanings out of life,
Worked for nothing but,
Just a blessing,a kind word,
Or simply a smile.
Loved someone with divine passion of life,
Did something that really changed lives,
Followed the spiritual path amidst,
the alluringly dark,
For them darkness never dawn upon,
They carry in themselves,
The glory of the sun,
With the impact ,
That will keep eyes occupied
Till the world goes numb.
