Darkness

a poem by Girish Elchuri

Darkness may be there
But be fearless to dare
For the happiness to share
And the liveliness to care.

Darkness is a perception
For the illness that’s creation
Of our Imagination
To which happiness is the prescription.

Darkness is the silence
That represents peacefullness
To overcome our selfishness
And attain happiness.

Darkness is the beginning
With a dot of light that is growing
Into a ray of shining
With the happiness that is filling.

Darkness is Black
Gloominess is Grey
Bothersome is Brown
Happiness is pure White.

Bring happiness to your life
Chasing darkness out of sight
With a candle that is bright
And the dreams that are right.
