The Future Smiles
K. Radhakumar *
All the lights are out
And I am left in the dark;
I look out of the window
And see nothing.
What a night!
The feeling of restlessness
Deep in my soul!
Where is the light?
I see nothing
But layer upon layer of darkness.
What endless nights!
The sky!
The Milky Way!
My walking stick and friends!
The world is not driving me
To distraction today;
I am not isolated.
I am among friends –
The world
And all the living and non-living things in it,
The world
Full of sounds and shapes
And I know there are animals
That can see in the dark.
What if
The road climbs steeply to the summit!
Let me set off, please
For the long trudge home,
A voyage of self discovery.
