The Indomitable Spirit!

It’s amazing to see, how the world changes around you!

Where there was laughter, hope, peace and content,

Now stands a desolate island of isolated souls.

Moments of happiness beckons me from somewhere

I ran bare-footed only to find despair.

I halted, took a pause, to see if bliss was around;

But all I found was darkness, humming a lullaby profound!

The tune was melancholy and the words mournful,

Of shattered dreams, sorrow and bête noir

I stood their frozen, hoping to find solace

But then I was woken up by melodies of stolen grace. 

I halted, took a pause, yet again to look around

But all I found was darkness, where I was left confound.

I cried aloud, but no, there wasn't anyone to help!

I realized I was left alone to travel across my way.

It was painful at the start, to realize the tainted truth

Of loneliness, disdain and grotesque rectitude!

There was anguish at first, but later it disappeared

With bespattered soul I ran, to sail beyond light years.
