Walking through the darkness, <br />Wonder where the road ends! <br />My foot slowly lifted above the ground, <br />Gently going about, <br />Wondering what the darkness hides for me, <br />Afraid! ! ! <br />I wonder what the darkness holds for me, <br />Passing through the small alley, <br />Never knowing who's around, <br />Never knowing who's awake, <br />Constantly alert, <br />Heart beat thumping, <br />Bold as I was, <br />Cowardly as I felt, <br />I never knew what was lurking ahead, <br />Felt as if it were a dream, <br />I thought as if it was a game, <br />And suddenly, <br />Here it came, <br />All the secrets of the future revealed, <br />You'd think as if that could heal, <br />Thought destiny would change, <br />Thought I was superior, thought life would fall on my knees, <br />But it didn't... <br />Everything went as a flashback, <br />And I was falling, <br />Falling from the edge of life, <br />So passionately had I constructed it, <br />Never to know that everything must have an ending, <br />Yet I forgot where the beginning stood, <br />And as I fell the memories grew over me, <br />Lifting my anguish, <br />Healing my past, <br />Harvesting my present, <br />Storing for my future, <br />Hiding behind the bushes, <br />The mystery of life, <br />More complicated than letters that make it a word, <br />As I fell, <br />From the mountain and hills, <br />From the plateaus and canyons, <br />I was falling, <br />It came to a stop, <br />There I went, <br />Lurking into the darkness, <br />Wondering what it held for me!<br /><br />Sahil Mamtani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walking-through-the-darkness/
