Silence sleeps in chaos (when I died) Two steps to the light And I stood still. The rope around my neck squeezed tight And I turned around. How many seconds would it take? Before I hit the ground Would I realize my mistake? I must have been asleep, But I thought I was awake. For I could feel the fire on my back, Like a hand with a hold on my soul. Two steps to the smoke so black And I stood still again. The hope around my neck let go, And a soft wind spoke of sin… "go to the light" "I'll let you in" Then I turned around again, Took two steps to the light And some one else spoke… "The light seems right" "But you must fight" … … two steps back into the smoke and I felt so much higher. It must have been the place for me. Now I'm lost inside the fire... 2002©imperfectworldcreations |
