Blanket of Darkness

I lie here in a blanket of darkness Not knowing where I’m to go Do I return to the land of the living Or walk into the bright light aglow I lie here enshrouded in numbness For a moment the pain is all gone Do I leave it forever behind me Or bear with it and carry on I lie here in a state of confusion About the status of my journey I am not sure that this decision Is entirely left up to me I lie here in a blanket of darkness Not knowing where I’m to go Do I return to the land of the living Or walk into the bright light aglow

THis one could be different things to different people,Joe. For me it sounds like someone on the verge of death. Maybe it's time to let go. The light sounds so inviting!!
