*Light
I shudder in the night
I’ve lost my vision
I can’t even see my own hand
In front of my face
I feel frightened
Because I don’t know what is out there
I’m freaking out
Because I don’t know what’s after me
But then all of a sudden
I see something in the distance
A small spot of white
Getting bigger and bigger
I reach out my hand
And feel the warmth of the light
It gets larger and larger
As I get closer and closer
Soon the light engulfs me
Surrounding me with its wondrous warmth
Bathing me in sun-kissed joy
I feel nothing but ecstasy
Into the light
Out of the dark*
**. Dark
The light is starting to be too much
It is beginning to blind me as it surrounds me
Even more, so much that it’s almost suffocating
I want nothing more than to get out of this smothering blindness
I sense something crawling behind me
Something inky black, waiting to take me
It coils its way around me
Like a snake to a small bird
Tight around my chest, it’s hard to breathe
The wind is knocked out of my lungs
I try to kick or punch, but I’m tied up
I go to scream, but I can’t
Fear begins to take over as I am pulled back
Back into the darkness from whence I came
But now I begin to relax, my muscles unclench
I ease back into my dark paradise.
Out of the light
And into the dark**
