Along the Way of Darkness

Along the Way of Darkness


The three roads inside the forest diverged
Into the depths of the water,
Under the bay where the rays of the sun
Twinkling and glittering in the waves
As if prying into the deep water.
The branch of the tree laden with the stone
Stuck with the meadow in line with the branch
 And birch of the whole vision of the day,
I am the last passenger of the bay
Who landed on the rafts of the plantain
Nothing possible is to be done
Known view to the people
who passed by Along the waves
Intoning waves created by the water lily
They outdo and compete in the glitter
The water lily is dancing on the beam of the sun
The sun shines with scorching heat
As if it streamlines the whole scenario.
The passersby nodes do not know their actual way
Where the waves are moving with reckless motion
In the weary gestures like the dancing gleefully
As if the darling swims in the bay peacefully.




The poem The Way of Darkness' is an allegorical poem in which the consequences of the transient world have been vivaciously contemplated. Man comes down to the ephemeral world for a transitory period and after causing decay and destruction man's temporary earthly life is finished. In the transient world, man has to fight against misfortune, evils, and superstitions to have a normal zest of life. The roads are diverged in the woods out of which man has to choose one to lead his life controlled and cleanly.
