forsaken thought...

Blackness of distress
dark everywhere
vision marred by fear
hope numbed with disbelief
no sky above my head
no ground beneath my feet
directionless - I become

A spark of thought arrives
piercing the curtain of darkness
giving warmth of hope
and a reason to survive
I decide I can move on with this thought
forever
Out of darkness
I survive

As the light dawns
leaving blackness behind
that little spark
fades away into the light
and becomes a forsaken thought
I find darkness again
Myself - I deceive.
