When darkness is deep
And life lies in a heap
Every step you take
Raises a cloud of dust
But you can't retreat
You have burnt your boats
Keep walking on,
For it's never too dark
Even under a moonless sky
Keep going, into the night
With a heart made of light.

Keep going with a heart made of light.. Conveying beautiful thought
A beautiful poem, a lovely rhyme scheme and the message is universal.
That last line redeems the poem. I wondered how you would resolve the crisis of this poem (because you don't leave us dangling) but what you show us is really wondrous. In the darkness the source of light is within us: we can rescue ourselves! ! And must do so. This is a poem of hope in an age of despair.
with a heart made of light, we should accept every such heart, and there will be no darkness. beautiful poem Nosheen

If there is light inside, we needn't fear external darkness! We are not to be vanquished by hurdles but should boldly venture to overcome and proceed our journey dauntless! I see here the sparks of an indomitable spirit!
