In a highway, I was alone <br />Even my shadow was not present <br />I looked up in the sky <br />No Stars…. No Moon………. <br />Only Black Cloud…........ <br />I looked around <br />Nothing to view………only darkness <br />Abruptly, a hope emerged <br />It vowed to be with me <br />Not only in pain but also in pleasure <br />I was cheerful and sustained my journey <br />It encourage me to tackle with the hindrance <br />It defined the life-“It is beautiful” <br />It clarified about love-“It never pains” <br />It seemed I had a new life <br />I was enjoying……… <br />With stars and moon less sky <br />Desired to be in that moment for ever <br />With nothing to view……only darkness <br />But couldn’t clutch that moment <br />Rays appeared……..Sky was blue……No more Darkness <br />The hope diminished <br />Seemed as it was robbed by the rays, by the blue sky <br />Surely! My hope was not to get away from darkness <br />It was to enjoy each and every moment <br />Of darkness…..Of fearfulness……Of loneliness…….. <br />Today, I live in brightness <br />But my life is darker than before <br />And think me hapless <br />The stars and the moon bother me a lot <br />So, when hope dies <br />Nothing seems exist anymore<br /><br />Ujwal Bastakoti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-hope-dies/
