“Layers of Darkness”

by Vipanjeet Kaur | Posted on 6th April 202226th September 2022

Layers of darkness 
envelop my being.

I slough off one 
each dawn 
like a snake molting 
its old skin

 And welcome 
a new sun. - vipanjeet

Note: The simile of “a snake molting its old skin” suggests rebirth, spiritual growth and immortality. The poem urges readers to discard the baggage of past and welcome a new dawn each morning.
