Survivor of Darkness

Arpita Barua

The light that you emit,
In the vastness of dark
Leaves me in awe
Racing through life,
Yet, how are you so serene?

Between each life born and lost,
You bear witness to the tears shed in the fall of midnight
Torn between tasks
But, a glimpse of you
Tranquilize the turbulent mind
Seeing you reflecting
In the blackness of night,
How wondrous your beauty could be, oh hey moonlight.
