i entered into a cave.
It was very dark.
i went forward in the darkness.
then i entered into a tunnel.
In the absence of light in the tunnel
i heard voices behind me.
in terrible fear i looked back.
then i heard footsteps in front.
it went on for sometime.
then somehow i got the notion
"I am not alone in this tunnel".
It gave me courage.
i walked on and on
all alone, but not alone.
At the end of the tunnel
there i saw light.
It was so powerful
that i could not open my eyes.
In the direction of the light,
at the end of the tunnel
i ran into, like a joyful deer.
It was light and only light.
It was paradise,
the Abode of "The Almighty",
who is above all religions.
(The small i symbolizes that one should become lesser and lesser as one proceeds to the eternal abode) .

The lower case form of I was an intelligent choice to symbolize the humility we would feel the closer to God's presence we come. And this title- -I Ran Into Light Like A Joyful Deer- - was perfect as a line in the poem and as the title of it. I picked to read this poem out of others because who could resist it? ? ? ! ! ! ! Beautiful poem throughout. 10
Dear Tony, such an inspiring and heartwarming poem....10+++++
The light of God is very much felt in this poem. When we find that light we want to bath in its radiance and feel the joy of seeing it. Finding the way that leads to the light of God is a joyful experience like a thirst that is quench. Wonderfully penned.10
Dear poet, this poem leads us into what is not created but exists in the minds of many. An excellent poem.+++10 Robert

It was paradise, the Abode of The Almighty, who is above all religions. That's the belief that can make us a joyful deer to enter the paradise.
