Turning Point
Days and nights
we have lived in the same tunnel but have not found the light at its end.
We had always wanted
a change -change and a change..
changes have been made
but still no light at its end.
No place to stand on
and chasing our dreams to the distant sky
with
multiple commitments, airy ideas
We have always failed to make them true.
We are only to keep ourselves
trapped
in the dark and loitering
but no light yet seen at the two ends.
