The Hold Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

In the beginning
A sound lifted from nowhere,
An unheard sound that no one could hear
Because there was no one to hear it or identify;
It soon faded, and all was quiet.
The darkness continued to rule
To conceal light and rob the opportunities
For truth to reveal itself.
There was a crowd of the undefined
Present in the margins
Watching this play, they did not intervene.
Suddenly an unwitnessed event occurred,
There was a flash of light.
It did not light up the hidden things
That the undefined did not know
Or dispelled darkness.
I was not there when this happened.
Where was God, in any case?
How could He allow Darkness to retain its hold?
The learned still ask.
