Into The Midnight Sun I Poem By Dhriti
Written by 14-year-old poet Dhriti from Delhi, Into The Midnight Sun is a haunting reflection on love, uncertainty and the quiet strength found in letting go.
Into The Midnight Sun
Into the midnight sun, I carry both my laughter and my scars.
The sky stood defeated- waiting to an answer for hours
The night held its breath, tore between hope and despair
The stars held tight onto the sunlight, as if their love could be stolen away.
The sky felt as if it has reached the edge of its land
The sun might take away its love from its hands
The sky though not sure if the stars loved equally
Yet still it holds on, though it could barely stand.
The stars not sure about its feelings- uncertain and hesitant.
Scared to lose the sky if the sun detains its light
Will the stars be ever enough? Can a promise last forever and remain unbroken?
Or what if they end up as if they were never truly chosen.
On the other hand, the sun is possessing,
Holding tight in its grasp, dressed in fire,
Burning fierce and hot- a relentless red ball.
Yet even in its blaze it can’t dim the love of sky.
The sky fell for the stars still the stars remain unassured,
Not because it loved less but because it loved too much,
Will their love be ever complete? Or it will sink in the ocean of doubts and uncertainty?
The sky had put in every effort to defeat the sun- just to have it stars.
At the end the sky stopped chasing, the night swallowed its hope,
The sun was in the sky, the sky was left alone in its ache,
The stars left with deep scars- what if it had all worked out?
But too late to realize and now it’s useless to count.
The world might blame the stars for the room of doubts,
But only stars know the pain of caring too much even when the heart shouts,
Mixed emotions hold silent screams and hidden pain,
Only the experienced one knows the heart’s real reign.
Into the midnight sun, I find myself and lost and loved,
The beauty of caring too much might be a curse,
The heart may soar, the soul may strain,
Yet in this chaos of life, I remain!
