He struggles to reach the end of the tunnel, SILENCE -- He loses his way, He calls to Him for help that he might find peace, SILENCE -- He remains unanswered. He cries and shouts he curses... He wishes to die, for amid the chaos and fright he feels alone. SILENCE -- He forces to forget. He blocks the light that shines through a gap, It blinds him, he falls... SILENCE -- he forgets. He finds his dying state, it frightens him, He reaches out... SILENCE -- the light has gone too far. He thinks of calling out, once more... He fights it. And then the world turns dark, he cries... "Leave me not for I might die!" Just when he thinks he's been forsaken... He reaches out and grasps a hand. SILENCE -- Light flashes through, It fills his world... He realizes that... In the silence, He never listened. « return. |
