365 The Series – ONE’S TUNNEL

One’s Tunnel

‘Twas sighted afar off,
Is it because I have been starved?
Or is that truly a light?
A walk ahead, through bumps and thumps
The more I walked towards it,
The farther away it seemed to move
But it surely is a ray of light
Streaming into the tunnel of my fate

Not stopping, still walking
Knowing in the end, I will come out alive
But a question in my mind lingers
Knowing that it is a precursor to discerning
How far apart the walls are
And how lengthy the stay is.
No one denies that:
There is a light at the end of a tunnel
But how dark is the darkness of one’s tunnel?
