Ruth warren - Missing Light

Darkness encompasses you, all around you,
Multitudinous shades of black,
forever falling forwards, no chance to find your way back.
Cold dampness crawls, over your naked frail skin,
Clammy fingers reaching for you, is the feeling you have within.
No directions, no signs, not even hope can you see,
Only desolation and emptiness, with no way to break free.
The darkness closes in on you as fear grips your heart and soul,
A smothering shroud of finality, seeps from an inverted hole.
The smell of decay fills your nostrils, as your mind begins to fail,
All color drains from your countenance, leaving your skin deathly pale.
Darkness now comes closer, to smother you, slowly, not abrupt,
You know that nothingness will take you, and then…




You wake up! !
