Beyond this interval life awaits on the other side
Beyond all that is wrong awaits what is right
Beyond this great divide awaits a reunion
Beyond this indoors confinement await the great outdoors
Beyond being stranded awaits the final homecoming
Beyond this caliginosity awaits a sunny dawn
Till then let’s not let dreams turn into nightmares
Till then let’s not turn against each other
Till then let’s not be misguided by anyone
Till then let’s be patiently patient
Till then let’s light a lamp for all is not lost
And let no calamity, no tyrant, no fear,
no rabble rousing kill this flame
The night maybe dark but a tiny hope glimmers in every heart
The night maybe darkest tonight, this is what keeps us alive.
Beautiful Punam. This touched my heart❤ The message was so perfectly portrayed through your words. I love this💕

Yes Punam…. there is always hope….
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in”
