Night of ignorance,

Nita Agarwal

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!
