the darkness

all along
i thought he was holding my hand, and
walking me into
the l i g h t
but now it seems, rather
my angel has been leading me on, and
into the darkness
deeper, and deeper still
and across
this river of no return
and why i?
i have all but disappeared from myself
here…
here where i am nowhere and my angel is everywhere
in me
and what then?
when the last of twilight deepens into a moonless night
will these eyes opened see?
blinded no longer
by l i g h t
