Starlight – Delhi Poetry Slam

Starlight

By Surbhi Dhawan

I am unaware of the deeds
That led me to such daunting fate.

I am unaware of the mistakes
That I repeated until it got too late.

I am unaware of the actions
That seemed right in my mind,
But only drove me near
To my inevitable plight.

Yet, the one thing I am aware of is
You never let go of my hand!

The one thing I am aware of
You created new windows ,
When all the doors were bolted tight!

The one thing I am aware of is
You still made me believe in the dawn
When there was surreal darkness all around.

The one thing I am aware of is
You made me go lengths
That I still can’t decipher
if it were my footsteps!

The only thing I am aware of is
You made the impossible possible!

The only thing I am aware is;
I do not wish to be ever bereft
Of your strength that rekindled
The already extinguished fire from the ruins!
