Darkness/Light

And we sailed into the darkness
Where there was light all around
Yet none ahead.
The hands pushed with all their might
We had no choice but to move ahead.

Gushing, spilling over, rushing
Most people made way for us.
Others we pushed out of the way,
Abstract,
Schizophrenic,
Imaginary,
Unhappy,
Monotonous,
Arsonists.

The voices reached out to us,
Cold and faint at times,
Warm and endearing at times,
Scared and frightened at times,
Scary and frightening at times,
Wrapping us up in their arms,
Scattering hopes and dreams.

At least we had each other's company,
And words,
And songs,
And the wind,
And the dew in the mornings,
And the sea or the mountains at times.
The tunnel grew narrower than ever
With each passing day,
The video grew darker.
The audio became more faint.
Yet we were there;
Suspended, pulled, pushed forward,
Yanked sideways even.

Speed decreased, time was carefree;
Doing whatever it wanted, whenever it wanted.
We turned to look at each other,
Right in the eyes, without even a smile.


The darkness ahead
Gave away all at once.

And there we were in the white mouth of the tunnel,
Facing each other for our first kiss.
