The Light in Me

by Pavithra Nair

Grade 8

The rivers sleeping beneath the mountains

The crescent moon shining bright

The rays fading into the dark

When the day is left behind.

 

Here I am standing on top of the world

Stretching my arms out 

And shouting to the universe that if

‘Today dies, tomorrow will be mine’.

 

I will wait till the time

For the sun in me to rise 

With a little hope

I shall wake up tomorrow

To spread my light

And create a new world

Filled with contentment and joy! 

               

The sun has set

And darkness has taken its place

But still there is a tiny spark

To light up my life!
