An Ode to Despondency-Thoughts of a Co-Contributor

Your light transgresses darkness

Your light gives hope

Your light bestows calmness

To a troubled mind

May you shine so every night

And wipe the tears and pain 

Of every needy soul

On the face of this Earth

On a full moon night, the moon bestows upon us, its pleasant rays. One such night, the firmament being cloudy, was trying a find-me-out game. Out of the blue out came the moon with all its exuberance. Spreading its rays, it exiled all thy mournings and pain, to some desolate island, far away. Yes!! Moon, you are the only hope on a dreary night. You pick me up from an abyss and it is you, who helps me tolerate, the otherwise painful whips of life.
