It absorbs everything... <br />In its limitless bosom. <br />Temples and tombs, <br />Man-made barriers... <br />All look alike. <br /> <br />Is not it like God? <br />That doesnot discriminate at all. <br />Imagine the fighting flickers of a candle, <br />At last, succumbing to darkness. <br />It is indomitable. <br /> <br />It is really difficult <br />To decipher the reality of darkness.. <br />It is the melting pot <br />Of dream and despair <br />Feat and failure <br />Life and death. <br /> <br />So why hate or fear something <br />That is so indiscriminatory? <br />Darkness is all-encompassing, <br />It is inevitable...<br /><br />Debasish Mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-285/
