Light On
By Goldfinch
Once more I stir,
Always knowing that I would come through.
A steady rising
Pulling me up to my new life.
Facing all around me
Those boundaries no longer existent,
The lightness pulling me up,
Standing my ground with my strength,
Mended I go forward.
Engulfed by the purity of light,
High into the beautiful world,
Into the heights of wonder.
Light on; always there,
Light on; never failing,
Light on; within my life.
Here is the rise,
Always going to be there in my mind,
Growing at its own pace,
Slowly giving me sure footing.
As I rise towards the light.
My life growing into wonder,
Lifting me to the heights.
I ran faster and faster, free from pain.
Mended, I was with the light.
Rising, straightening, in control,
Flattening, flying,
Upright, forthright,
Climbing, pulling.
Ever upward, higher and higher,
There is no top,
Nothing to stop me,
Nothing to stop me reach my heights
Opened by the light of life,
Higher into the glory beyond,
Into the arms of My Spirit.

Blackout
By Hood
Here comes the collapse
Never knew it was coming until it was too late
It was so fast & hard
The strike took me clean off my feet
Smacked the ground face first
Then my boundaries came tumbling down
Rubble rained down on me
I tried to stand but the weight was too heavy
Broken; I curled into a ball
Engulfed by the relentless darkness
Deep into the void beyond the abyss
Into the arms of unconsciousness
Blackout; no warning
Blackout; no control
Blackout; consume me whole
Here comes the collapse
Never knew it was coming until it was too late
It was so quick & harsh
The impact knocked me off my feet
Face first I smacked the ground
Then my defences began to cave in
Burying me in a pile of stone
I tried to crawl but the pain was too intense
Broken; I curled into a ball
Falling, spiralling, out of control
Twisting, tumbling
Upside down, inside out
Plunging, plummeting
Descending, down, deeper & deeper
There is no bottom
Nothing to break this fall
Nothing, nothing below me at all
Engulfed by the relentless darkness
Deep into the void beyond the abyss
Into the arms of unconsciousness
