In the shadows I appeared
I realized I was stuck,
Stuck in a world I couldn't escape
I cried out, yearning for freedom.

My body stiffened
It felt as though I was being strangled
I tried running, running and running
But the faster I went , the further I was lost.

My legs were weary
My eyes dampened by the intensity of the wind
I was out of breathe
My nerves tangled and my steps twisted

I felt weak and ready to give up
Nearer and nearer the darkness grew
There I was, struggling with a prayer I hardly said
I pray for mercy , for a savior

In the mist of the shadows
My eyes almost blinded by the bright light which shone
Luminating the whole place, my prayer answered
I tried to block the light as much as I could

Then a strong wind blew across my face
I fell off my feet
Only to be wrapped up in the warm arms of a man
A strange man  I had never seen before

His face shone
He pours oil through my hair and plants a blissful kiss on my cheeks
I couldn't let go

I was in a new world
A world of peace, light, it was like a dream
I was in a fantasy

As I opened my eyes
I felt refreshed , renewed,awakened from my slumber
I felt whole
I had an encounter with the oil.
