Shall I Rise? Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Shall I Rise?

Rating: 5.0


As darkness thickens
into a mass of impenetrable silence
and moon fades from sight
of budding dreams
Should I make-believe
I have the choice
to grasp the dawn
Shall I rise
from the night
where darkness thunders loud
and the waves come
crashing down on the fallen
too hard
Shall I rise
to catch my falling self
in mid-air.

Sometimes when we are enveloped by sadness and we are at our lowest lows, we usually ask this powerful question, Shall I Rise? " A powerful, wonderful and thought provoking poem that presents the intriguing nature of human beings. That we are endowed with capabilities to assess the situation and put into action whatever our mind set us to do.
