There came a phase when everything was black. The tunnel seemed endless and charcoal dark.
Deep was the fall and air so still.
No words, no ideas not even a single thought came to my rescue. Ravenous clouds of fear had encircled me.
HOPE! A ray of light…something, somewhere…should be…. I fell with nothing to grasp.
The end seemed final with a shimmer approaching, its warmth and tenderness embraced me as I neared. The light so kind and gentle was full of knowledge and wisdom.
Clouds of fear had evaporated. I took a fill of life’s nectar in it. Totally drenched, wearing variegated wings of creativity I flew past the light.
I rejoiced and sang like a drunken bee.

Thanks Rochelle you saying this means a lot to me. I wrote this keeping writer’s block in mind but after finishing when I read it, I realized it also hinted at enlightenment and a bit about the struggle of dark days and a bleak hope to survive. No matter what happens but after a promising light things always change for good. 🙂
