Impeccable

Life is, and will always be a struggle. It is an uphill battle that all living beings experience throughout their existence. However, it does get comfortable when the hearts are filled with courage & there is a sign of light at the end of the tunnel.

“Impeccable” by Nidhi Pandey talks about how in the darkest hours of the night, ‘hope’ shines the way to the lost, paving the way. It shows how faith and compassion in the scary nights often put individuals across their destiny.

There was something,

Something in my eyes, that did not die.

Closed in avalanches; but did not cry.

I wrote prose,

In the heart of the beast.

Hoping it adheres to the wisdom of a priest.

I created landscapes,

On every scary night.

Without armour, I dared to fight.

Given manipulations,

I responded with empathy.

Compassion was always a fantasy.

Watching malice,

In their heart and mind.

I chose to be unconquerable,

While being vulnerable and kind.

Did you choose trickery?

I chose bravery.

Did you choose duplicity?

I chose dignity.

I am a stream you cannot fetch.

I am a flame you cannot touch.
