Follow The Light

Once,

the night used to scare me

the coldness of the shadows; haunting dreams that would keep me awake

the echoes of lost souls to bare their teeth onto me

until I found a light in the distance

walking, running, towards it

it's warmth cascades all over my body

pure ecstasy; the echoes couldn't follow,

couldn't taunt,

couldn't feed off of me

a lantern with the angelic glow surrounds me

know you are not alone in this dark cold

whispers around in the air

I am guided through the forest by the lantern; the end is near

and I am not afraid of what the darkness holds.
