FLOOD OF DARKNESS

A flood of darkness

Has filled the whole night.

This unfamiliar road

Just does not seem right.

All comrades have moved on

The newcomers also went;

I am left lonely here

With no one in sight.

Some of them showed the way

And some obstructed –

Even on unhindered path

I couldn’t go further: try as I might.

Some of them only served

To misguide me

Getting stranded helpless and alone

Became my fate all right.

Had they not met me

And not came in my way,

It would have been much better;

My life would’ve been bright.

The unspoken grief of the mute mind

Is cursing them with spite;

Your turn, too, is near,

O you all laughing at my plight!
