The blurry vision of the dark canopy,
Plays the acts of my disdain,
Some faded and a few too bright.
With a sinking heart and a restless mind,
I can feel the coldness on my cheeks
And stars around my skull.I witness a tireless crawling infant,
Staggering and bruising his feeble limbs
Yet resilient enough to be a feeble soul!
That very moment I gaze at my maligned psyche
That has reduced to a mere grave--
A grave of failed aspirations and hopes.
But, are they already failed?I find myself admiring the silver deity,
That has hideous scars engraved on it.
So I touch my tainted dusky skin,
"Why can't it be adored too?", I ponder.My eyes meet the brown giants,
They stand upright with their heads up high,
Whilst losing all their leaves.
I stare at my stains of fruitless efforts
They carry my blood, sweat and tears.
So I take a step and gather valour,
For the raging waves awaits me.Escape the zone of inferiority--
My conscience commands,
And I enter the realm of acceptance.
I feel the tears of the clouds,
Embracing my enlightened spirit
And the smell of petrichor tranquils my heart,
For the days of misery have to depart.I bury my despair in the same grave
Setting my caged wishes free.
I kill my own demons with a smile
Not letting them to engulf me.With the departure of the moon,
The dark night fades away
And a fresh day is welcomed,
With the arrival of the red sunray
Marking the inflow of anew enigma.
