silence

I wrote this a long time ago, but just came across it again.

Darkness


The silence....

The heavy darkness....I enter it alone

I feel it surround me....it closes in

Suffocatingly it envelopes me

I long to give in....to give myself over

to the abyss

But then....

Just as I close my eyes in defeated surrender

Escape!

I am pulled from the murderous blackness

Light floods in and pours over me in waves

I suck in air as a babe newly born

Gasping, gulping in the refreshment

I am in the open....the vast expanse

of never-ending brightness and beauty

Resting....

the lightness of life regained

Alone, yes, still

But No - not ever

full peace
