Wandering down a hall
No doors anywhere
The dark complete
Seeing only blackness
On any side of me
Silence is all I hear
Then a breathing in my ear
I turn to face the noise
To see no one there
In fact there is
No one anywhere
Facing forwards again
I walk toward nothing
When the breathing returns
I spin to see again
That nothing is there
Finally, I turn again
To face the black abyss
In front of my feet
I jump down the ravine
That seemed to just appear
Only to feel again
That hot breath on my ear
I spin in air
And then I see
That the only person there
Is me and only me
Then I see a blinding flash
Of pure white light
And I disappear
To become one
With the night

Odd isn't it. It is kind of calming though, With all the quiet.

Hm. This is interesting. Did you really have this dream? And yeah, it is indeed strangly calming.

I asked for no rhyme and left-align. But thank you for entering. The rhyme wasn't really consistent, so I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a rhyming piece or not... I just had to draw my own conclusions. At any rate, it was highly emotional, and that kind of sincerity is always nice to see.

It was not meant to be a rhyming piece though it may have seemed that way.
