Things are looking up

The brightest light that is not so far

See how much distance there is left

It is still a long way from where you’re standing

But it’s a start.

It’s a long trip from here

But for some reason

When you find yourself within the grasp of the light

And reach out and seize it

Something unexpected happens,

You fall.

You fall so far that the light is no longer there

And you start losing what’s surrounding you

You can’t even think straight anymore

Everything disappears

You can’t even see anything anymore.

Suddenly

Another light appears

It’s a strange small light

Not like the one from before

but you follow it anyway

Where does it lead to?

It flickers now and then

And you worry that it will go away

You worry so much that you run straight towards the light

Like a spoiled child who wants everything for themselves

Finally,

You grab the light and it suddenly widens.

Instantly,

You’re standing in a strange new world

Colors are splashed all around you

Everything is so beautiful

Many colors return to your sight

And warm tears fall off your face.

You never think of crying for such a simple reason.

It’s an amazing sight.

Never before,

Would you think that something like this would make you happy.

Sadly, like all flickering lights

They start to disappear.

You knew from the start,

That the light was not meant to stay forever.

You can’t help but feel powerless

As you see everything fading again,

All the colors you won’t see again.

You are back to where you started

Where nothing has changed,

At least, if you can tell.

That is why that other light, the brightest light

Is different compared to other flickering lights

It does not flicker

Nor does it disappear from your grasp

It stays right where it is

And the only problem is

Avoiding the holes that have caused you to fall in the first place.

The light is not far away

Bit by bit

You start to see the light once again and you start heading towards it.
