Spirits Of Dark And Angels Of Light Poem by Savita Tyagi
Spirits Of Dark And Angels Of Light
Sometimes I close my eyes and wonder
Was there ever a time of peace on earth?
Was cursed Kaliyuga ever not upon us?
Was this soil ever not colored with blood?
Did only barbarians roam and plunder?
Were oceans ever not ripped apart
By the sound of guns and fires of hell?
When none climbed the mountain
Without a shield and sword in hand!
When forests weren't infested with shrapnel!
As far back as my thoughts took me
I saw Kurukshetra and Hiroshima,
Battle of Niles and bloodshed in Africa!
On hieroglyphics I saw images of crude weapons!
On palm leaves I read war narrations!
Yet it is a miracle that I and many others
Have lived their life in peace and friendship,
Have kept their sanity and emotions in check,
Do believe in the goodness of the human heart,
And its instant gleaming in glory of joy.
Like a shadow sorrow follows joy,
Like night gives birth to eternal sun.
And sunset brings out the glorious moon
Only to be followed by a new moon night.
Many of us are bloodthirsty spirits of dark.
But many more are there to rejoice in light!
All have a due place upon this colorful den
Yes! Man is a wolf to an opponent man,
But also a lamb for his beloved kith and clan.
An amazing write that echoes peace and friendship. It also bites at the flaws of humanity. Beautifully crafted and well executed piece. Liked the 5th stanza.10
Wonderful poem 2 faces of man as wolf and as lamb, very nicely depicted
It's a sublime piece of work! Each line carries priceless substances! I would quote just two lines here: Like a shadow sorrow follows joy, /Like night gives birth to eternal sun........Thanks dear madam for sharing..10
Congratulations! It definitely deserves placement in an anthology.m Savita. Like a shadow sorrow follows joy, ==isn't that the truth? Was there ever a time of peace on earth? Not if people have any say in the matter. Very good write.
This world is a world of contrasts, we have choice to be good or to be bad, let us be good and do good. A thoughtful poem.
Like a shadow sorrow follows joy, Like night gives birth to eternal sun. And sunset brings out the glorious moon Only to be followed by a new moon night........loved these lines, haunting expression. Beautiful poem shared. Thanks for sharing.

Evil and goodness exist side by side! From time immemorial, there have been wars and rebellions. Weapons of war are not something new! But through all darkness, there have been light bearers and people who brought joy to mankind! So there is a kind of balance preserved all through! You have well captured the contradiction of life and living! A profound write!
