The rosy hue of the evening sky Fades into the grey of the earth; Shadows weave a magic web Around the hectic world. On the desolate moor, dark and cold, A lonely traveller plods his way. As fearful fancies haunt his mind, He prays for help from Heaven above. A glimmering star appears through gliding clouds, Cheers his heart: his drooping spirit revives.
Far beyond the world of his dreams, it shines And bids his sinking soul Rise above the shadows of the gloomy world And see the celestial light. Restless and weary, amidst frightful sights, With none to guide his faltering steps, He struggles for a glimpse of the heavenly light. "What vain struggle!" cries a voice deep within. "The star that beckons you from the sky, " Is but a reflection of the Light divine "Enshrined in your own heart " And pervades your MARVELLOUS MIND. "Let thy inward eye pierce the veil " And behold the splendour of the LIGHT within "That will dispel darkness and thy path illumine." **** M.G.Narasimha Murthy Hyderabad, India. mgnmurthy4@gmail. com
