Twilight & Sunrise

By Avishi Singh

The fading light of hope during dusk

As the darkness of self-doubt during the night settles in

Causing chaos, erasing the calming twinkling of stars

Wrapping around like a blanket, muffling years

As the troubles of dark self-doubt surround,

As the troubles of the enduring day finally come to a close,

As the stresses of the mind take on a giant form

To take one down in their storm

But the mind begins to wander.

The possibilities are endless.

For the magic words that come to the mind,

“What if things were different?”

And then the bright, robust, ephemeral light of hope shines.

Dispelling the darkness, bringing forth new possibilities,

To forge a new star,

That will leave behind the energy to forge many others.
