Darkness

By Noor-ul-ain Hanif

A year ago,
I went miles away inside a dark forest,
I digged a big hole near a tall tree,
I put all your memories inside it,
I put a seed and poured water,
I visited it daily,
I fertilized it with my feelings,
I watered it with my tears,
It got further nourishment,
through your sensation,
After some days the seed cracked,
A small plant came out,
I smelled it,
It smelled same as you,
I talked to it,
As if it was you,
But soon my imagination broke,
And I found myself alone in the dew,
No one was around me,
Only dark forest was surrounding me,
I realized how far I have come,
This encouraged me to go backward,
I left you behind,
And moved in my life,
But today I have come here again,
and found the scene very strange,
The plant has turned into a tall tree,
And giving shelter to little little entities,
It makes me happy,
It makes me delight,
It gives me another reason to smile.
