Camaraderie

A Poem by Anwesha
"

The personification of darkness, its poignant tale and symbiotic relationship with the firefly

"

 



Darkness dwells in despair,

his conviction succumbed to slumber, beyond repair.

Detested and abhorred, he laments in anguish,

his existence tainted by his own blemish.

Besieged and shackled by solitude,

somber thoughts pester him in multitude.

Piercing through the realm of gloom,

emerges the firefly sparkling in full bloom.

Overwhelmed by the pleasant intrusion,

darkness asks a question.

What brought the beautiful stranger to his desolate ocean?

Twinkling with fervor, the firefly pleads to be his companion.

“Dear Darkness,it is within you that my

 radiance is so resplendent,

 luminescence so ardent.

 Dear darkness, it is without you that my

 purpose is so insignificant”.
