Ray of Hope

She sat there alone, spinning a yarn.

With swollen eyes and tears that encompassed shattered dreams.

Felicitous desires had taken the role of macabre reality.

A mistake had pulverized her life forever.

Uncertain of her future, she felt redundant.

How she wished she could go back and amend her greatest folly!

Of intrusting a traitor and bringing dishonor to her family.

She had surrendered her body, mind and soul to him.

She looked out of the window and gazed the moon.

Alone in the dark sky, she found it solitary and despondent like her.

She kept her hand on the protruding belly.

The thought of her child’s somber future raised her trepidation.

She shut her eyelids and found a ray of hope subsisting in her.

Her child would be her moonlight, she thought.

And render her life with light whenever darkness took over.

Notwithstanding the anguish, there was a smile on her face,

And her amber eyes were desirous of embarking on a new journey.
