Not All Is Lost Poem by Nosheen Irfan
Not All Is Lost
There's darkness, but not all is lost
The stars, the moon and the fireflies
Look how darkness helps them glow
Darkness, with its forbidding demeanor
Its black cloak of devilish proportions
Its creeping shadows and the ghostly signs
See how it lets the trees exhale their sadness
Be not afraid of the dark, O' my heart
Rather, feel the world's soul, deep inside
Quiet descent of heavenly stillness, around
Feel the breath of sleeping air, surrounding
And the slow ascent of heart's cries, praying.

Darkness is an old friend of mine. Although the light of day supplies life and color to my flower gardens, the night is more overall soothing to me. Metaphorical darkness, however, is a universal enemy. Wonderfully penned my friend
Hi Kelly, Your words Darkness is an old friend of mine inspires me. We have a great poet in our mother tongue 'Malayalam'. He is named Akkittham Achyutan Namboothiri. The following couplet of his is very very famous VeLicham dhukkhamaNuNNee Tamassallo sukhapradham, meaning, Son, light gives you sorrow; it is darkness that gives happiness and is comforting.' Thank you for reminding me of this great poet and his exquisite poetry.
