Slowly creeping

Muffeled screams

Running nerves

Rushing heart

in this deep dark nightmare

Losing my breath

Every heartbeat

BANG…..

BANG…….

BANG…… in my ears

Trying to find sanity, find colours, find joy

Where are the peaceful sounds of waterfalls,

The harmonious singing of the birds, the russling of the animals all around?

Where are the sweet smells of all the blooms,

the smells of the earth, of life?

Darkness……..

Darkness…….. all around,

No way out

Nowhere to run,

Falling……..

Falling …….

Falling……….. into the abyss

Fighting for light, for love, for colours

Fighting to reach the sights and sounds of peace…..

Fighting for one more moment,

One more breath,

One more handshake,

One more smile

One more hug
