It was the darkest night for me
Waiting for him in vain
I let my tears flow unseen
Anyway no one could see my pain
Time has this strange attitude
When we’re happy it flies fast
But whenever we’re in despair
It stands still and moves last
Anguish fills the lonely moments
My heart is restless and so sad
No respite from the intense ache
I lost my calm which I always had
I kept my grit and nerves intact
Knew that this inkiness abject
Has to go and the sun must come
Bringing myriad colours packed
Red, green, yellow streams of light
Will fill earth with a magical aura
Emitting brilliance there will come
Goddess of dawn, often called Aurora
Dispelling darkness, spilling radiance
At last comes the hope
We should not give up on life’s
Promise of ample joy’s scope

Melancholy lingers last, but a change of mindset can slowly get one out this situation and make him /her indulge in ecstasy. The wavering nature of human mind always looks for something new and different, and if dissatisfied with an outcome not to their liking, there comes a gloomy stage in life that marks a decline in spirit and passion leading to boredom and total inaction!
We should keep our mind open and set aside negative thoughts which mar our life!
