Despair

All consuming, darker than night,

a blackness creeping within.

Deafening silence,

excruciating entrapment.

The nothingness of a black hole

tugging slowly

one limb at a time.

The scale has tipped.

Darkness outweighing the light.

Paralysis.

Without a beacon,

all is lost.

Yet, all it takes is one small shaft.

Something to pierce the dark.

A deep breath,

and another,

and another.

A whispered call for help

and angels envelope me.

Tears flow,

sobs erupt,

the dam breaks.

The water of life,

the voice of life,

returns within.
