Darkness and Light

Smriti Gautam |
Darkness and Light

Lost in the shadow of giants

Is the silhouette of a little man who

Learns to live in darkness

Searching his way past thorns and bushes

While cherishing the sound of bees amidst the night’s silence,

Falling and rising;

Likes tides of sea,

Ending and renewing;

No matter the weather, continuing,

Failing and succeeding;

No matter the defeats or victory, ever growing,
Befriending the dark

While seeking the light

Knowing not the source of darkness

But certainly the joy of light.
