I Conquered My Fear

Some day I had to stay alone,

Alone in a house, prone to some moan.

Suddenly the lights went away.

My face, my body had nothing to say:

I stood alone in moan,

I had a pain but no courage to groan.

Dark solitude was mystic, 

Horror had gripped my back stick;

My body shivered like a vibrating phone,

I had a pain but no courage to groan.

My mouth was sealed with my own fear.

The everlasting silence was sucking me, Oh! Dear!

I was caged frightened in a house : my own,

I had a pain but no courage to groan.

But then I saw a glimmer of light

Shining bright through the roof height.

To my joy it pointed to a household zone,

I had a pain, generating courage to groan.

I tried and went straight to the enlightened box.

To my surprise I got a match box,

With a click of a stick I conquered my fear:

The bright light from the moon, made it clear-

A silver lining in a dark cloud, is capable alone,

To kill my pain, no need for a groan.
