Spirit's Embrace

In the dark's tight grasp, I find myself,

Every glint of light, swiftly shelved.

Fear creeps in, whispers stealthy and sly,

Drowning out joy, painting a bleak sky.


Amidst a crowd, I stand alone,

Faces familiar, now unknown.

Torn from my world, to realms unknown,

Lost in a place where I am but a lone drone.


All seems unchanged, yet something's awry,

Each shadow whispers, a silent cry.

Nightmares haunt, as time drifts by,

Tears cascade, as hope begins to die.


As death's cold grip beckons near,

Two arms enfold, dispelling fear.

Eyes open to find no one here,

A spirit's touch, so tender, so dear.


In solitude, I wait, longing to feel,

That spectral presence, to make me heal.

But alas, it vanishes, leaving no trail,

Leaving behind an ache that won't conceal.


Though it ne'er returns, I hold on tight,

To memories of solace in the night.

Faith unyielding, like a beacon's light,

Guiding me through the endless night.
