The light that once existed deep down
was not destroyed but smothered with stone.
The thought of forever in darkness
became a part of life that felt normal.
Darkness became a comfort zone,
a place to run and hide in fear.
Somewhere that was not of this world
where one could be scared and alone.
Then you came along
with your hammer and chisel.
Slowly, you started to chip away the stone
searching for something beneath it.
More of the stone starts to chip away
revealing the depths to a brilliant light.
Finally, piercing the right point
the stone broke apart and light poured out
with hopes to never be sealed up again.
