In The Abyss Poem by May N

Looking for the sunshine
Any sign of light
I search the vast darkness
Clutching my heart
As the coldness of this place
Seeps into my soul

I am trapped in this cold abyss
A place of nothingness
Where dreams crumble
And all signs of life cease

As my being deteriorates
Like ones before me
I know I will die
But maybe there is hope

I reach my hands out
Hoping to find what I desire
My only hope
I feel nothing…at first

As I finally feel fingers intertwine with mine
My heart, my soul is lifted
And the great veil of blackness disappears
Letting in the light I’ve searched for

As I lift my head to gaze at my perpetual savior
I feel warmth surround my being
And I feel myself feeling whole once more

As his arms surround me
I am grateful for his presence
For he is the one who saved me from my fate
I am eternally thankful

As my loneliness subsides
And I look upon his face once more
My heart beats a faster pace
And my face takes on a new shade of color

My savior’s lips meet my own
I feel my spirit fly above the skies
A new feeling I have not felt in awhile
Love
