A room,
Engulfed in absolute darkness ,
In absolute stillness.
A flicker
Lights up the room
For one undying moment.
And then ,absolute nothingness.
The darkness starts filling me,
Making me feel nothing;
Almost-
Making me almost resign myself
To a fate of darkness.
A streak of light appears from nowhere
As I stand up-
Fate betrayed.
I reach out ,searching for the source
But it eludes me.
The streak dims and then brightens
But it stays,
Intriguing me, attracting me,
Overpowering me.
I grope in the darkness
Searching for the source,
But it eludes me.
I’m almost resigning myself
To a fate of darkness – again.
Then I discover a source of light-
Inside me.
But it’s not the one i’ve been searching for.
It’s the one that has
fended me from
the darkness around me.
It is so dimmed ,though.
Then ,
The room gets flooded with
Light
Killing the darkness,
Leaving nothing of it.
But i-
I’ve been blinded .
My eyes have betrayed me.
Now, I can only hope that
It’s all
An illusion.
