Struggle to stay above,

fear of being pulled under into the darkness.

Running to the light,

heart pounding as the path fades.

Searching through forests of thick,

trapped by arms covered in brown and green.

Hot flames everywhere,

can't see and slowly lose air.

Blackness swallows thyself whole,

screaming for help and looking for light.

A hand holds mine tightly,

pulling me free from the flames.

Leading me safely out of the darkness,

into life's light I emerge.

Heat bathes my frozen skin,

your love keeps me here and never lets me go.
