Awaken.
The dark world
disorients her vision
causing it to flicker in
and then
back out.
~
With the passing of time
Light begins to illuminate
the once gloomy grotto
Reflecting off the water
and onto the painted walls
Dancing with the break
of what she can only assume
to be day.
BREATHE
She inhales.
Her ribs crack
as her lungs expand
with the moist air
Pain wretches through her body
She lurches forward
Heaving out a mixture
of water and anxiety.
She falls to her side
then rolls to her back
Exhaustion taking hold
Pitch fills her eyes
-The colorful rays of light
slowly disappear on the other side
of her swollen eye lids
The sand below her
forms to her body
as she struggles
with each
breath.
The land of dreams
envelop her
as the pain
gradually
fades
She holds onto life
by a short strand
fraying at each end.
