WILLIAMSJI MAVELI POEM: REVIEW BY CIJO JOSEPH

WHEN SHADOWS FADE
When shadows fade, and pathways blur,
And doubt's cold fingers softly stir,
A whispered appeal, a heart's soft call,
For daylight to break, and darkness descend.
Not blinding sun, nor fierce, bright blaze,
But gentle glow, in thoughtful haze.
A lantern lit, within the mind,
Where tangled threads, we hope to find.
Pour light upon our woven fears,
The knotted doubts, the unshed tears.
Illuminate the hidden way,
Where courage sleeps, and dreams hold sway.
Each hesitant step, a shadowed trace,
A winding path, in time and space.
But light reveals, the stones unseen,
The fertile ground, where hope has been.
Pour light upon the branching roads,
The heavy burdens, and the loads.
Let clarity descend and gleam,
A guiding, steady, inner beam.
No longer lost, in misty grey,
But seeing choices, come what may.
With gentle warmth, and steady grace,
Pour light, and find our rightful place.

WILLIAMSJI MAVELI Ji,
Your poem titled " WHEN SHADOWS FADE " is a poem that depicts the idea that in the midst of darkness, there is hope for optimism. In the whirlpool of trials and tribulations, there is a pathway to success. When, life gives blow after blow, there is an escape hatch readily thrown open in front of us. When, there is winter of gloominess lingering in life, there is a spring waiting to descend down upon humanity. When, there is no hope in the horizon, there is that incredible possibility out there in the open. So, life does pan out to be in the mould of two diametrically opposed strands and in order to succeed in life, we need to have patience and remain in the thick and thin of life as cool as a cucumber. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of outstanding nature.
Cijo Joseph Chennelil.
