A Prayer In Darkness Poem by HARVENDRA SINGH

A Prayer in Darkness

In this world of uncertainty,
In this darkness, stark and impenetrable,
I'm standing here, alone, helpless,
Searching a path to my destination,
Unknown to its potholes, depths and obstacles
And the surroundings shrouded in mystery.
A single misstep, careless and abrupt
May lead me down to the abyss.
In my despair, complete hopelessness,
Who else should I call but You.
Give me Your guiding hand,
I pray to send me a ray,
Like a beacon in the darkness
To pierce my utter gloom,
To illuminate the night of uncertainty,
Your gentle touch to lead me up,
Through the shadows to the place of bliss
Show me the beauty of life.
Again I pray, in my humble way
For Your kind embrace;
For Your guiding presence
Which provides solace, peace, and refuge
May I find solace, in your eternal embrace.
