The slightest point of shining light
All around was nothing
In front, behind, to left and right
The black engulfed me, held me fast
Flickering glimmers came from far
Increasing, shining, suddenly gone
Swallowed up in the intensity of darkness
Mt feet rested on empty space
Supported by the density of absence
I tried to move but to no avail
Arms flailing in the thickest sea
Mouth open wide to shout, to scream
The soundless echo was engulfed
As total absence re-echoed about
From infinity it came and stretched
At eternity it had its end
The whole of being was absorbed
Life drawn away in the lifeless void
Pulsating silence broke my senses
Mind reeling in the total blank
My hands reached out to claw at nothing
I drew them back with nothing in my grasp
Suddenly the pulse whizzed past
An instant of light in the deepest dark
A momentary lapse in the maintained gloom
I watched it go with an aching heart
The imprint of the shining start
Etched firmly in my longing mind
Before it came the black was all I knew
Now it had been the darkenss had been changed
The depths had deepened, the dark increased
Even the void was lacking substance
How I yearned for the spark to come again
To lift my spirits with its purest light
To fill my weary mind again
With the substance of its insustantial dream
