Ray of Light

 Darkness is all around.

This tunnel seems to have no end, yet there is no evidence of it’s entrance either.

Walking blind through the pitch black, completely alone.

Stumbling over the foulest creatures, rank and bloody beings that belong so perfectly here.

Just as lost as the poor soul journeying along.

Vines curl up from the floor, along the wall, clamoring to the ceiling and hanging there, dripping poison on all who pass.
 

But alas, after endless days and nights blended into one voyage through the depths of the emptiest hearts and loneliest souls in the shade of blinded passerbys…. there lies a ray of light.

Pure and clean, a crack in the canopy of hell reveals hope.

Water seeps in, cleansing of all impurities.

The beasts retreat and the creeping venomous plants shrivel to mere dust. 

The lonely traveler has found escape… because in all the world’s darkness, there also lies light.
