Illuminate Ephemeral Darkness Poem by Masroor Shafi Bhat

With the onset of midnight,
Darkness descended upon the city with it
The merciless and unyielding storm unleashing the
Fear and dreadness.
Darkness with no apprehension of consequences
For it shall not be held accountable
To massacre and genocide.
The Darkness leaching Stars and devouring
Radiance.
And draped city under impregnable
Gloom.
Wolves howling and lamenting
For them sliver moon has fell prey.
It's still miles away from the Dawn.
While the barbaric night lay
at its zenith dodged with clouds. The sun is yet to
Rise.
For there shall stand none before the rage and wrath
Of thy Sun, set to fire within thyself.
And exonerate souvenir darkness and illuminate city once for
All.
