darkness

i thought i was blind,
darkness all round.
or that i had stumbled
into a cavern.

panic sets in -
heart begins racing
breathing jerkily
eyes opening wide

to let in the light,
but there is none.
i begin to run - screaming
into that blackness.

no sense of direction,
of belonging - total chaos.
my mind gone ballistic,
all hope evaporated.

terrified of the void, yet
drawn into it's very core.
stumbling - arms outstretched
- reaching for anything.

all the while screaming -
but only in my head.
i fall to my knees -
face in my hands.

more fearful than i've
ever been.  then, i feel
a breath upon my cheek -
caressing my hair.

looking up and catching
the brilliant blanket
of jewels, there all along
as it settles softly upon me.

Wonderful imagery here hon,  pulls you in.. Good work  

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

this one came from deep within.  it was written while i was at a very special place in new mex.  the darkness and silence really got to me the first night i was there, and this came from how freaked i was by it all.  thanks again for the kind words.

I too have felt the same way. It's kinda scary but at the same time mystical
