Salvation

Rest, it eludes me.

eyes closed, eyes open,

I see nothing

Nothing but a shadow,

hazy streaks upon the stony ceiling

as time passes, inching slowly,

my heart begins to stumble,

then a Fall.

doubts dragging me down below

sinister thoughts, lurking,

awaiting in the depths

familiar faces absent from above

And the musty darkness envelops me

Squeezing. Seizing my lungs.

A gasp,

A breath,

A breeze.

A waif-like sliver of light

The scent of hope in a distant corner

there lies the moonlit window

dim,

flickering,

beautiful.

a faint light reaching out its hand.

ps. I know I said to expect a sequel but not quite yet! This is a joint project with my friend (:
