Alive

All is calm and silent.
I slowly look around.
It's so serene and magical,
this world I'm in right now.

A wave of my arm,
and I now look up.
There's a light, right
there.
I watch the light in wonder.

I reach up to the light,
but instead, I hit a glassy
wall.
It shines and sparkles,
like a mirror,
but it won't let me through.

Suddenly I grow weary
of this silent world
I'm in.
I don't want to be alone;
I don't want to be here
forever.
I want to touch the light.

I try again, reaching with all my might.
But it's no use.
I'm in this quiet, lonely world
forever.
I sink lower and lower to
the bottom.
I'm drowning.

Trapped in this world
that I have created,
I give up.
I close my eyes, losing all
Hope.

I am suddenly picked up,
and brought to the light.
The light of the Father.
I breathe in the clear air,
and for once, I don't feel
alone!
I feel joy!
I feel peace!
And now, I truly am
Alive.
