Sickness deep within
colliding with the light.
Stabs of pain
oppressive darkness
creeping inward,
internal organs
fighting
sweat, blood, flashing metal
explosions so near
we are shaken to our core.
Retreat –
we must retreat inward,
survival depends upon it.
Layers of angelic protection
as I dive inward
deep, deep
to find the light,
to burst forth
lighting the way
in the blackness.
Facing suffocating darkness
head on,
resuscitation with light
breaking outward
only possible with
the angels’ strength
surrounding
infusing
refining
our fire within
combining
our collective
brightness
into one giant flame
that the deepest
darkness cannot touch.
Banishing war
into peace.
