Darkness envelopes my soul
and pulls me down,
under the inky surface
of my reality.
Drowns me in the depths
of the unnamed emotions
flooding me
from top to bottom.
Struggling for air,
I gulp in more
of the overwhelming blackness.
I can feel it pushing me
to the point of no return.
Then just as my eyes flutter
to close for the last time
I catch a small twinkling
where your light is
shinning through.
I see your hand
reaching down to me-
so I push upward
with a renewed sense
of purpose,
grasp on
and break through the shadows
into the brilliance of
your presence.
I take a deep breath,
and like that
I am reborn.
