Shallow Darkness

Updated: Jun 24, 2023


There's a shallow in the world today.

When light cannot penetrate the darkness,

It remains a halo.

A halo that reaches out.


Perhaps light will never be enough.

A brighter bulb,

More watts, more volts

Still darkness shrouds it.


I look at the sunrise

It has pink hues and a silver glow

The clouds brighten the blue sky

But darkness will come again


Like the tide,

Which comes and goes.

It too feels shallow

In the expanse of time


Just as memories pass away

And my mum is gone

I am but a shallow

Wading in an ocean.


Perhaps one day

The storm will swallow me

I will struggle, I know

Not just for me, but for all of you


But maybe I am too deep in the shallow

To be heard

And not to be forgotten

Where i will slowly fade


I am just an ant in the swarm

Losing my way

Strong but helpless at the same time

Waiting for danger


Not worrying about myself

For if I am to be eaten

By the lion or the wolf

My meaning is also met.
