Lost in oblivion
Careening into the ever-tightening walls of my existence
Despair holds my heart
Can you hear it beating in the midst of all this tyranny?
It's squeezed tighter in a vice-like grip
Until all fades to black
My eyes open; the sun is shining
A brilliant yellow orb of glowing warmth
Relief washes over me
Releasing me from my dispassionate misgivings
Basking me in the warmth of loving light
And on this sunny day
I am finally warm
No longer chilled by darkness
No longer hindered by fears
For I am one with the light
Author notes
Chaos and darkness overcome by the light...
