Okay this post is somewhat special because for the first time I've tried my hand at poetry. The attempt may be amateurish but nevertheless I hope its not awful. Regarding the underlying meaning, I think its pretty straightforward.

                                             Musings

With great swiftness i ran,from pillar to post
The Darkness, it followed me
It glowered at me, a dark ghost
Felt a fear so great that it benumbed me


I ran till my legs became weary
And my limbs, woefully weak
The silence , ever so eerie
That i dare not even speak


"What do you want?" I cried
"I want you" It cackled, with glee
To be brave, I tried
But the shadow, it made me flee


I prayed for the light
To deliver me from this plight
Alas, it was nowhere in sight
But nor was I going down without a fight


I earnestly yearned for tranquil and peace
Through the far depths of mind did i navigate
Lo! It struck me that i held the keys
The worry and anxiety soon began to abate


Determined, I closed my eyes with hope renewed
Pushing the darkness out from my mind
Lo! From darkness to light my mind segued
Fresh life and vigor I did find


Prepared i was to face the heat
I felt the light emanate
The darkness beat a hasty retreat
And I became the master of my fate.
