This is a poem of hope amidst hopelessness.

I ran fast towards west,
But Sun from the other side smiled at me,
And called me like a soft breath of an Angel,
I turned around and faced the sun,
And left my shadow stumbling from the other side…
I ran as fast as I could towards the east,
Caught every single breath in my lungs,
Wiped every drop of sweat falling from my bared skin
Then the Sun helped me through it.
I went nearer to the sun,
Stared at His radiant face,
But a voice called out my name
From the depths of the dungeon of nothingness,
It echoed in my ears….
When I looked back,
There was the shadow stumbling under my feet,
Its velvety silhouette brought me fears,
It held out its hand,
Grabbed me until I shouted of surrender.
Then as I closed my eyes,
I felt the heat of the Sun burnt my skin,
But when I looked for the devilish shadow chasing me,
It rested soundlessly under my trembling feet…!
