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.

Encountered
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.
