The Sun will Rise from Dusk

It was the memory kept in my mind

That I have felt dismayed and seem confined

Horror conquered us in a finger snap

I asked, "When will everything be fine?"

​

The roads filled with wheels got emptied

Like the ticking of the clock, freeze 

Suddenly, everyone's covered with shields

Quarantine replaced the word "freed"

​

I have witnessed how establishments close

News about people panicking at stores

Is it a necessity or just an impulse to hoard?

The world has been filled with grievances, storms

​

My mind is filled again with cries and "why?"

I went upstairs and looked up in the sky,

Tears fell from my eyes 

Why did this happen to all of us?

​

Will this bring people some change?

Or is it indeed us who will be changed?

Could this be a sign or a phase

To fight the battles we don't want to face?

​

Could we tell ourselves that we are all stuck?

Or for us, it is just a task

To get out from different forms of dusk

And to finally see God within us

​

On that day, I witnessed the sunrise,

While tears fell from my eyes

I felt God in my heart where He resides

And reminded myself, everything will be fine
