Dumsor At The End Of The Tunnel (Poetry By: Poetic Dela) Poem by Poetic Dela

Lights are meant to shine

Darkness, a villain to illumination

Shadows act as shields to identities,

Fear, a neighbor to the blind



We crave strength in the toughest moments

Greatness and resilience lay in some

of our iconic monuments

All we possess is scripts about taming

both fear and torments

We dance to music played without

any instruments



Our cognition fathers our epic memories

The only path of reliving these moments

exposes us to the villain of illumination

A river full of tears is what hinders this opportunity



Uncertainties about befriending trust

deepens the pain inflicted on us by our past

They say Joy comes in the morning,

but we only see joy through the sights of Owls



Metaphors failed to describe what

the heart desired to spill

We are slaves on this journey they call Life

A journey where,

road signs are mirages



Yes!

We are slaves trying to escape from

our masters through this tunnel

Our hearts are overflowing with fear

But all we know is,

Going back is not an option

The Light of day is all we hope for

The closer we get

the more we are exposed to the uncertainties

of a brighter world!



Poetic Yesu
