Eternal Slumber

a poem by Sai Prasad Ramnarayanan

I was searching,
I couldn’t find it,
I ventured deeper inside,
It was all darkness,
I searched in vain,
I couldn’t find a matchstick.

I thought I found it,
It seemed to be there,
It disappeared,
I pondered deeper,
I was searching in vain.

It lit my tunnel of darkness,
Like a beacon of hope,
It lingered in my heart,
Did I find my answer?
Time alone will tell,
For at the end of the tunnel,
There lies eternal darkness,
Surrounded by the mysteries of the world,
I shrugged my shoulders,
The search continues…
Will I ever find it?
The question still lingers,
While I immerse in eternal slumber…
