Behind Darkness There Is Sunshine Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Behind Darkness There Is Sunshine

Rating: 5.0


When darkness invades a poet's mind,
He quietens himself, yet seeks light.
Though he may feel utterly resigned
Yet he sees things beautiful and bright.

Yet he seeks to read the beautiful poems,
Yet he seeks to love the merrier moments
Poems that he had once read or written
Moments he had fancied being love smitten.

His heart feels heavy, yet he wears smiles,
Sitting at home, he wanders a million miles.
Quietly he reins in his wandering thoughts,
Scribbles them down to fill his poetry plots.

Himself dull, yet his poems spread sunshine,
Here and there, cheers many a sombre mind.
To all the unhappy poets I have this to opine,
Read and write poetry leaving sorrows behind.

A truthful write. I can't agree more with what the poet has expressed in the first stanza. Top score!
