The fight in me had died

I gave in to the spasms that came with the rains

Drop by drop I immersed in it

Drop by drop I evaporated

My senses dulled every time I opened my eyes,

Vision was not needed I understood.

So I stood with my arms wide open

And my eyes closed so tight it should have hurt

But nothing came; neither the hurt nor the darkness

I felt meadows and saw colours I thought were extinct

I felt a caress of the branches of long ago

When I was more me than I am someone else

It looped me in and whispered

“I will never let go”

I smiled,

“You too shall pass.”
