Clouds surge
Swallowing up the blue
Crowding the light
The wind, swirling
In a dance above
Whipping through leaves
Tearing at them, until they
Surrender to the churn
Of nature’s almighty breath
Unsettling the skies
As darkness descends

No light to guide my way
through the blackness
that leads me
Up darkened steps
Around blind corners
Feeling the way along
Cold hallway walls
Not even the warmth
Of first morning light
Can illuminate the gloom
Or fill the void
Of nothingness
As the darkness lingers

A light down a darkened path
beckons me to follow
As I approach
it flickers
making me stop, wait
Again it calls
I continue forward
not knowing what lies beyond
the blackness that settles around me
A light so bright, yet not
I cannot see past it
My eyes play tricks
seeing only what my mind allows
Fantasy settles in
It lures me
and I walk, following
unaware that I am pursuing
My darkest dreams
my biggest fears
I turn around, afraid
and find nothing
but the darkness in which I began
Yet sounds and shadows engulf me
in a sensory overload
And I freeze, unable to comprehend
all that is there
and not
Only to realize my existence
in my own imagination
