The Dark Road
Irom Calvin *
The wind was blowing high,
The sun was shining brightly in the sky.
All were happy enough to go ahead,
By singing, dancing and enjoying the scene.
The bus that they were happily going ahead.
Took them to the most unwanted destination.
Causing sorrow, pain and desperation.
The fate of pain and despair had faced upon them.
A distance covered in an hour.
Seemed to go on forever.
Until the day we meet again,
At the end of the journey.
Death is what we described as,
Scary, nervous, pain and challenging.
But there lies behind the reality of all,
The almighty creator will be waiting for us.
Until the day we unite,
For the journey to be embarked for.
Stay safe and sound,
Because the unknown would be coming for us one day.
