It’s within us – this urge
to lunge towards light,
no matter how much
our souls sink within
the murkiness of
a carelessly put together hell.
And perhaps, there is light :
even if it eludes us.
Let me think.
Nay, I believe there is light –
the kind that hit us
when we were thrust into
this alien world.
And so I say –
the darkness that swallows us
from time to time,
must be a mere simulation
of the womb that held us.
There is new life beyond.
