Chapter 5 - My Oil Lamp

A luxurious oil lamp

An antique, beautiful piece

Made up of glass, gold, and silver

Enlightens my path on moonless nights;

It accompanies me on every journey,

Guides at my darkest nights

I would choose my trusty lamp any day

Over modern, that is young but fragile.

So I polish it every day,

It might be aged but, it is bright.

Sadly, I need to accept the fact.

That one day, it will run out of light.

Nothing can ever replace it;

It can't always accompany me.

The day will come in my life,

I'll need to navigate without any guide.

Indeed, I will never forget;

How it kept the demons at bay;

There is nothing I can ever compare;

To the best thing, I ever had.

It pains me to the core.

I can never have another one.

I cherish it more than my very breath,

My oil lamp is alone in existence.
