The Light of my Life
I walk alone in this darkness I look around there is no light in site I feel the darkness invade my mind as it slowly makes Its way through my body I feel it in my heart in my soul the pain of loneliness takes over I look around for just a glimmer of hope I search my mind for something to hold on to. Is it true have I served my purpose in life am I no longer needed by anyone can this be true I feel the pain take my mind its like a sharp dagger in my head as I realize it is true I am no longer needed. I stop walking in the darkness and sit waiting for hope to show its radiant face to me its hard living like this I just want to die besides no one will miss me anyways. As the thought of death enters my mind I feel something on my neck was that someone breathing on me could it be death or am I just imagining things now I am losing this battle I search my mind still no hope I get scared as the darkness threatens to take my body over now I look all around again for something anything that will bring me back then I see it and very faint light in the distance that’s it my glimmer of hope I get up and run in the darkness towards that light but no matter how far or fast I run the light doesn’t get any closer I scream to the light but nothing my thoughts turn back to the darkness as if its my best friend now it’s the only thing that has been here the whole time but the light is now in my mind I feel the warmth as if it was calling to me I turn again towards it as if my trust has been renewed the light gets brighter and brighter the more I begin to trust I feel it calling to me now as if a hundred beautiful voices singing my name I move closer the shine of the light becomes brighter I stop walking as the light get closer it over takes me as I close my eyes I feel the warmth of the light envelop my body as my mind clears and feels fresh my soul as bright as it can be I open my eyes and let the light take me. I am whole again my trust is back and I know that people love me and nothing will ever take that away. I hold the light in my heart and soul and never let it go it is my link to everything and everybody now I will never let go. I am startled out of my dream by my alarm clock as the music blasts my ears another night has past and the sun is up I climb out of bed and slowly walk towards the door I stop when I hear your voice I see you laying in bed still sleeping you look so radiant like that I pull the covers over you as you sleep. I listen as I hear you say my name but you are still asleep it dawns on me that you were the light in the darkness the glimmer of hope I needed to get out of the darkness I kiss your forehead as I pause for just a minute to bask in the radiant light of your beauty I smile at your sleeping body hoping your having a good dream as I walk out the door to take a shower I stop again and look at you sleeping what a beautiful site it is a smile takes over my face I walk to the bathroom and get into the shower and realize that the darkness was caused by my mind and it was just a dream because you are still here and always will be you are the light of my life and I will always love you deeply.
