🌷We R d Illumination…


Poem : 🌷We R d Illumination...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Der R times when darkness engulfs us
From Within, a Li'l Ray Of Hope appears

When physical world around us fractures
Hope is d constant factor that assures…

On days when our rational brain tells us,
It's a Lost cause n situation is hopeless

N Against All Odds & Logic, We Hope.
N choose faith as life doesn’t make sense

Yet we secretly look for some tiny sign...
Assuring us that d things' ll surely turn…

Hope feels irrational only until we realise,
That it's d only thing that keeps us alive…

Many times we wait for answers,
D real change's happening quietly inside

Our courage to keep walking.
Persistence is d key we keep searching

Against odds n logic, we keep on hoping
Not becuz circumstances look promising

Or d path is clearly marked n brightly lit...
But becuz Der's a thing inside us refusing

To accept that darkness is d final truth.
We search light as if waiting ahead of us

At d end, struggle beyond closed doors
D confusion n unanswered prayers…

We tell ourselves, we'll reach that place...
But we've to survive n all will make sense

So we walk, hesitantly sometimes…
Or bravely on our lucky days…

Carrying doubt on one hand…
N blissful belief in d other hand...

Der R still so many of days,
When we don’t get d timing of things…

Days when doors closed n we question
Whether we've missed or misread d signs

Days when our faith feels delicate,
We carry it carefully so it doesn’t shatter

But even then against all logic n odds,
We hold on to d tiny Ray of hope.

But d longer we walk, new things begin
Though road won't immediately change.

D fog may still hover…
N Der'll be lot of delay in getting answers

Yet we’ll notice that we aren't as afraid,
As we were when we started…

We aren’t as fragile as we once thought.
With every step taken despite uncertainty

With each step we choose not to give up,
Then something within us starts to glow.

It’s not loud, it doesn’t announce itself.
But it's steady n

That's when d realisation 'll arrive gently
Something totally unexpectedly.

That d light is never truly ahead of us...
As we continue it’s growing Within us

When we chose softness over bitterness.
We believed when logic saying otherwise

Against all odds n logic, we choose hope
N in that hoping, we become luminous.

D very act of hoping transforms us.
It teaches us resilience n lots of patience

N that faith is not d absence of doubt…
But a confirmed decision to move despite

We search for external things to save us.
A sign, a breakthrough or timely miracles

But all along d way, we realise...
That to tap our perseverance n courage,

Our refusal to surrender to emptiness,
That's d light, Within us entire times…

That's d truth, life wants us to understand
We don’t simply walk towards Grand Plan

We create it, carry it, becuz We R Light
We're d Illumination, that’s fully Bright
