Thessaly: The Answer

pain throbbing unceasingly
breath rasping in my chest
like thunder my heart pounds
drowning out all around me

so hard to hang on
much easier to relax and let go
with that thought my body complies
releasing a last breath, I grow still

silence envelopes me completely
darkness wraps me in warm arms
like a child in a womb
I feel safe and free from harm and pain

then light, slowly at first
in the distance and growing
peace and harmony reaches out
tempting me unneccarily

a whisper upon the winds
words nearly lost in the peace
a shadow crosses my soul
as uncertainty creeps within me

the Fields seem less bright
old friends seem sadder
what is this feeling
that suddenly consumes me

the sound comes more clearly
a voice, so familiar
my soul cries out in sympathy
at the sadness it conveys

the decision is not hard
so easily does it come to me
I turn back from the light
into the darkness beyond

quickly I run back down the path
the urgent call my lifeline
to a life, a friend, a love
that I know I must have

for a moment I see her
her anguish radiates to me
her soul needing mine
as much as mine hers

opening my eyes tiredly
I gaze into tear drenched blue
with a gasping rush
I breathe in life itself

though I still feel great pain
peace sweeps over me
I have returned from the Fields
to walk with my heart once again

Like Thessaly: The Call, this one was hard but not as difficult. I hope you enjoyed these two. If you did I suggest reading Souls of Gray and Souls Apart..both written in the same fashion, but take place after "Gabrielle's Hope" Thanks..Silk
