A bright,white light
Shines on my face.

I squint, it's blinding me.
A voice from my left, deep and strong
"Come to my side. I'll show you the way."

I peer into the blackness, ominous, red.
Where should I go? What should I do?

I hesitantly take a step towards the inferno,
and hear evil cackling.

Now, a voice to my right, heavenly,
Awe-inspiring.
"Do not go to him. you will get lost.
You will be alone."

"But the light. The light," I protest. An answer.
"Open your eyes.You will see."
I opened my eyes and saw.
