A Pinch of Hope !

 

A Pinch of Hope !

Before sunlight can shine,
An enchanting darkness smiles !

Lilies bloom and leaves rustle,
And a never ending gloom settles.

The moon is aglow and a starry night engulfs,
Leaving behind trails of lone memories to revive.

Time flees as birds fly,
Turning dusk to dawn and kindles hope.

Retracing the path that I walked on,
I gleam and shimmer like a new  born.

-Fatima 
P.S: This poem was written on a prompt..."Before the sunlight can shine." on Dec 21st!

  11. @ The Silhouette: Dawn is always accompanied by darkness and the never ending cycle continues, its just our way of looking at it! Even if we love night and darkness doesn't mean we are all sad though we mite be broke!
