The sheen of dawn emits hope by irradiating the earth’s surface
It is then tenacious to discern that mystic darkness awaits in the next phase
To propel life to its ascertained terminal is a jugglery of time and destiny
When you win you are cloaked in canopy of hope
But if you falter all darkness you enrobe
The effeminate power that evokes the light to procreate life
Is often imprecated as preponderance on earth who scales every niche with strive
Radha, whose name is being chanted as epitome of consecrated love
Lived her days of solitary darkness, a trial so rough
A farmer feeds umpteen mouths and the sound of his toil reverberates
He satiates the hungry stomachs but so often demises in debt
Pole star guides us with its subtle lustre so bright
Plays mystic game with the firmament on every dark peach night
She who shows light to the podium of holy basil every eventide
Finds her life to be sunken in unfathomed darkness
By patriarchs who invalidate all her actions with pride
Why the harbinger of luminescence are being daunted by darkness
When they avouch to infuse light in every life carving all happiness
Light brings the murky shadow trailing where you bask the fuming hope in its contiguity
But can ensure to envisage the satan darkness lurking in vicinity
