a welcome capture//

It's hazy

I try to reach out but my hand meets darkness

I can't get to the end

The light at the end

of the tunnel-

Am I the only one who sees it?

Or does everyone else get to this stage eventually.

It looks like something I haven't had in a while

It looks like hope.

And as I reach with all of me, body and soul,

I am embalmed in the objects light

Hope has caught me once again

But I'm not desperate to escape.
