Dark Silver Poem by Chitra Bisht

Dark Silver

Rating: 5.0


The darkness
suddenly grew,
Out from the horizon
That I once knew.

Covering everything
And engulfing me,
A terrifying black veil
Leaving nothing to see.

Blurring vision, obscuring
everything in sight,
Not a single soul, to rescue
from this plight.

Had been growing
Quietly since long,
Matured completely at silver
Became visibly strong.

Overwhelming darkness
brought to light,
A glaring truth
That was lost in sight.

That it had
Always been so
Couldn't notice earlier
Had been slow.

Finally it dawned
Painfully on me,
Darkness is my legacy
For now and eternity.

Poignant and melancholic and mournful, but excellent poetry. Darkness is the only eternal Reality, light-ness is an illusion. Congratulations on POD, dear poet. All the best.
