A Glimmer of New Hope

Pooja Sankar, 2T5 PB

The sunlight is seeping through my closed eyes,

A glimpse into the future, a glimmer of new hope 

An uncertainty about what is yet to come,

Mixed with hopefulness for what is unknown. 

A yearning for the new, a movement for change

A sudden sense of clarity: what’s bright seems brighter.

Even with eyes closed, I escape into my surroundings

The days feel fuller, the nights are profound poems of their own

And what may be a long road ahead from now until then,

There is neither worry nor fear strong enough to fight away this feeling.
