The Open Void

I stare at the open void,
A soul piercing blue,
I dip a toe in,
And then two

Slowly it’s grasp
wraps around my foot,
And pulls me through

Deeper and deeper I fall,
Until I see no sunlight at all
Something whispers in my ear,
Just relax,
There’s nothing to fear

Slowly swirls of color appear,
Orange then pink, and yellow and green,
They circle me searching for something afar,
Until their eyes settle on what looks like a fallen star

The star shines brighter and brighter,
Engulfing my vision with a warm yellow glow
The glow is so bright,
it illuminates the night,
Into a dancing light show

But as fast as it started,
It begins to fade

All of a sudden, against my will,
Up, up, I rise,
With a sudden thrill

As I rise, all the magic begins to fade,
And once I reach the top,
There is nothing below me,
But a big, empty, blue void.
