The Darkness

As darkness engulfs itself around me,
I start to feel tired and suddenly alone.
By myself and away from the world
Darkeness has blanketed over me.

I fall into the darkness more, 
Only to begin to sleep.
I start to miss the outside and
Light of the world.
But alas, I am still overcome.
Overcome by the darkness.

When I finally drift back into slumber, 
I dream.
I dram of a warm sun, of light,
and a flower.
The flower is a beautiful mixture
Of green and pink.

Suddenly, it fades into darkness.
So I awaken and to my delight,
The darkness has been conquered
And there is light.
