Night of ignorance,
Is dark and deep!
I was fast asleep,
Happy in my slumber,
Chasing my dreams!
Dreams were beautiful,
Till nightmares happened!
Dreams got shattered,
Woke up to a jolt within,
Who am I? Why am I here?
Questions popped within!
Questions galore!
No answers found;
Learnt to peep within,
confusion followed!
Seeking answers;
Reading this and that,
Listened to words of wisdom,
Till some clarity dawned!
Dawn has dawned!
Night is fading quietly,
Waiting for the bright
Sunshine to light within!

Poems I write rarely but will share whatever I write 🙂
A beautiful poem which throws light on our inner turmoil. All of us go through these emotions and finally come closer to the meaning of our existence.
The painting is abstract . Leaving us to interpret in our own way .To me the the dark grey in the background symbolises the miseries of material world . The intermittent white colour is a ray of hope . The person under the umbrella depicts of the long wait under a temporary shelter .
Thank you Seema 🙂
Your interpretation of painting is nice.
Beautiful! Wishing for that bright dawn to light up your life!
Thank you so much Gitajanli 🙂
