Avoid the abyss. Run to the light!
Just Light
Someone
Opened the door
And pulled me in.
Was there a floor?
Or a drop off?
The abyss.
Too dark to see
No floor, just deep.
Uncertainty
Turning,
Turning.
Looking out.
Out of the dark
Back to the light
Where light shone in
Horizon only
Just a view in sight
Of open tomorrows.
Warm
Full
Visible
Why stay in the dark
And fear the abyss?
Where edges are unknown.
Leave uncertain
Cold and uneven
There in the dark
Run
Run fast
Run hard.
Back to the light
The door will slam
Cut off the fear
Leave the dark behind.
It was never a choice
Just a pull and a shove.
The ground is grass
Uneven but sweet.
Fall on it softly
Dark shadows full of light
Gentle. Certain. Comforting.
No edges, no fear.
No pulling here
No door to darkness
Just endless open softness
No abyss.
Light
Streaming in.
