Light and Dark

January 30, 2010

Light and Dark

The sun shining brightly
Bouncing off my hair
I look up
A smile and then my vision, gone

Deep, dark and scary
Nowhere to go but forward
Or is it backward?
What is this wretched place?

Things
Falling all around me
Swirling, tumbling
Phones, bones, and chairs
Telephones, books, and flamingos

My eyes open a crack
Bright shining light once more
I reach out hungrily
And my eyes begin to tear
Light

No more darkness
No more bad
Only good
Only light
Pure light
Pure happiness
Always and forever
I’m home
