Light Of Hope Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Can a light be so powerful?
Can a hand be so strong?

Ask the one who has pass thru all this!

I don't know when
I fell into the pit of sadness
Knowingly unknowingly I fell
I realised it too late
When I went deep half way down
And
I tried to come out
But couldn't move an inch
Pit was so deep that
It engulfed me.

I couldn't stop myself
From going deep down.
As I couldn't get anything to hold
I just went on slipping deeper till I felt,
I reached the bottom of the pit.

Melancholy spread all over
So dark it was
Not even a ray of light was coming inside
Felt choke up
Felt as if someone
Tightened rope around my neck
Making me unable to breathe
I fainted and fell almost dead.

A powerful but a thin ray of light
Entered the pit and
Reached me
The grip loosened
And I could breathe
As if I got life.

All I could feel is
One strong hand reached me and
Pulled me out of pit
And once again I felt I should live.

Today, how can I
Forget the ray of hope
And the powerful grip
Which pulled me
Out of darkness where I
Had been lying as good as dead for
The past many years.

May God send a Ray of Light to all.
