Falling

Somehow walking in this inevitable shadowy dusk,
I find a light at the base of my tunnel.
As if a light switch suddenly turned to the on position,
I see your ghost and lose all resistance.
Running towards the light, it seems only to push farther away, something set in my path to taunt me, to be seen by my eye but never reached.
It seems this darkness is destined to consume my being, that though the light is so close I inevitably will sink.
As I fall deeper into oblivion your light it grows dim, as i clasp my nails to sides unseen hoping that you'll come for me.
A limb outstretches in the gloom, and I strive to hold on as my mind reaches the realization that its you.
You lift me out of the sink hole, the darkened sea, and my mind, confused haze wonders what the deciding factor was for you to prevent my sinking.
As the shadows pull back, your colors fill me through and through, gentle blasts of light, colors of blue and yellow as you are again within my view, my eyes close, contentment and peaceful bliss as I fall into you.
