Search for Light

Search for Light 

Uma Regmi

There I stood far and wide, 

Seeking where the light would hide.

There I hoped night and day,

That I had a good fate.

 

I was sad, very uncertain,

Hope had become a burden.

Had no part in it,

Truth didn’t seem to fit.

 

Still, I stood there, lost and wide,

But knowing I would never find,

Light free of hate,

I didn’t have a good fate.

 

Resigned the game,

Life with no ploy,

I felt joy,

Were light and dark the same?
