– Satyakam Ray

Eyes closed
Darkness Prevails
Eyes opened
Far-away light reveals

On the move
For a while
Along the unmapped
Dark aisle

Wondering what lies
Hidden behind the trees
Heart feels things
Beyond what eye sees

Will I be stuck
Meandering through eyes?
or, rushing to the door
of the scattered rays?

What if, I love the dark
More than the light
Losing focus on the
Escape sight

Embracing the pain
The never-ending strife
smiling all along
That what’s life

What’s beyond the woods
The door-way to open
or, another maze
creating a false perception?

Light-dark contrast
Game goes on and on
Moving ahead only
Solution I reckon!
