The Flickering Light













A flickering light from far,
enters my window ajar,
transiently lighting up the room,
then eloping away,
submitting itself to the darkened gloom!

Hence continues the play of light and dark,
flickering significance of philosophical mark
Light is the joy, the short lived flicker
Darkness, the unwelcomed time ticker
Hope, the occasional spark
Dismay, the inescapable, O Hark!

May the flickering light hail
keep the beat, even if its frail
For flicker is what is life
in a world where darkness is rife
Flicker is hope
Flicker is light
the erratic illumination
fighting this night!
