Brave Soul Poem by ANJANDEV ROY

In the dark winter evening
I was walking with my companion,
Gradually the atmosphere became darker and darker,
Being afraid, the companion began to retreat,
But I had the fearless heart
And I was firm and resolute,
So I confidently began to proceed,
After walking a long distance,
I became tired and exhausted,
I saw a lonely and dilapidated house nearby,
Soon I stopped in front of it,
The door was open,
I entered the house,
It was pitch-dark,
Suddenly I listened they were whispering joyously with their invisible stature,
I understood the meaning of their murmuring,
Actually they were greeting me warmly,
Immediately I realised they greeted only the brave soul in their strange domain,
Then I found a cosy shelter in a little room even in the midst of complete darkness,
As I was tired and weary,
Soon I fell deep asleep,
In the morning I woke up
And saw the bright sunshine had already entered the room,
Great feeling suffused my mind entirely,
Thereafter I slowly came out of the house with a smiling face,
It was time for me to depart,
But when I looked at the deserted house with true concentration and reverence,
I honestly felt it wished me a happy and successful journey in the bright sunshine.
