Reaching Darkness

Blistering light held him in place,

not even a shadow to give him solace.

Burning so bright,

so bright.

.

In the dark,

so far from reach,

eyes observed him.

.

So bright,

nowhere to hide.

.

In the dark,

sweet solace so far from reach,

promises were whispered.

.

So bright,

nothing but light.

.

In the dark,

safety so far from reach,

oaths were made.

.

He closed his eyes,

willingly surrendering.

.

Tendrils curled around him,

light giving way to darkness.

.

Piercing darkness held him close,

not even a ray of light to blind him.

.

Darkness surrounded him.
