1:51 am

In the darkness
When you're afraid, unsure,
Blind
You see a light in the distance
It burns strongly, almost as if for you.
The light offers a guiding hand
Chasing away the darkness
There was something quite special about that light
Or so you thought

Then the realization hits you
It's just a light
Ignites for everyone, extends guidance and kindess
To anyone who asks for it
You look away now
But images of that light
Are seared into your eyes
Every time you shut those eyes
Blink
A ghastly after image forms

You can see the light
But not reach out for it
Neither can you forget it
Tormenting.
A permanent imprint in your memories

So be it, you say
You stop and feel around you
And join hands with brothers who are equally blind
Maybe a way can be figured out, somehow
To forget, forever.

Presence of mind, clarity of thought. Hello buds. I'm back.
