A light is all I can see
Burning like the sun at the end of a dark hall
I am a moth drawn to such magnificence and beauty
Quickly down this dark corridor I run, but then fall
into the depths of a dark and pungent abyss
forever falling with the wind blowing through my hair like a hurricane
Thinking for sure I am to die, I begin to reminisce in my memories
So strange for a girl to have begun to live but yet filled with endless moments and tales take place within my brain
These joyous thoughts soon come to an abrupt halt as I crash into the floor
I close my eyes and open to see once more a brighter light, greater then the one before
I make haste feeling the walls and floor to reach this light which puts want and love into my heart
After much time elapsed i reach the light, with every ounce of energy i contain i reach for this mesmerizing light
tantalizing beautiful, more so than Venus herself, I take the light and depart
Only to my dismay my love begins to dwindle  and dies out and leaves me in fright.
All alone in a dark and horrifying maze, I sit and weep
I begin to sing a song that my mother used to sing when i was a child, to keep the monsters away when I was scared
,"Oh dear child, close your eyes, my arms are here to hold you close, I am always here, nothing can harm you now, just close your eyes, count your white sheep,
everything is alright
I close my eyes and keep singing, until I could be heard no more
