There is this place
well lit in the tunnel.
It says you're special
and should continue.
Like a mother
who tells you to behave
on the first day of school
the walls guide you towards light.
There is no turning back.
Lights will soon be switched off
but a dream
of their warm touch will continue.

Love the comparison with mother's advice/warning.
I read it as- the way you cannot turn back from school, even after mom's touch is not there anymore, you also cannot turn back in the tunnel after lights have been switched off- feeling of both lingers on though. :)
What was your thought while writing?
@Surbhi
Your reading is correct. On dot. Exact.
My thought was about the absence or loss of anyone. More importantly parents or the people who guide us.
Very nice !
My question has already been asked and answered.
@Avi
Sorry for the preemptive strike. :)
