• Deep within the darkness
    I saw a light
    but it vanished from view
    just as I reached out to touch it
    Is it my imagination?
    Or is everything fading..
    My arms are outstretched
    but not a touch..

    On my bare palm
    a flame is growing;
    consuming my flesh
    but its swiftly cast away
    by a cold rush of air..
    Or was I dreaming?

    My heart skips a beat
    my soul escapes my body
    Am I sinking?
    I’m not sure
    but I could feel the water
    rushing through my lungs
    bursting through my veins
    like a waterfall on a starry night

    My mind wanders far away
    to the depths of a vast ocean
    while I follow
    next in line
    to join the lost souls.
