Chaos and the calm



Strolling the woods of million thoughts
I was seeking something lost
Haunted and scary the woods were
Everything was shady and there was chaos

Chasing the shadow of the ghost
Deeper i walked amidst the storm
Crossing many unknown paths
I realised it was me who was lost

Bewildered and distressed, I stopped by,
And gazed at the naked sky
It was a stunning view
And there was a different calm

This was the moment I admired the dark
I was no longer afraid
A twinkling star was guiding me home
And it's lights were the companion I had!

As I walked further in the illuminated woods
I met myself sitting under the sky
While embracing the dark in counting the stars
Calm overcame the Chaos!!
