~~~
below sea level,
low on oxygen,
submerged in sea,
I drift aimlessly,

above me I see,
flashes of light,
of an unknown source,
penetrating through,

wonderstruck and intrigued,
I swim upward and up,
despite the toll it takes on me,
I rise with struggle,

from the surface I see,
a tall lighthouse,
and people at sea,
afloat in the patches of darkness
while others swim,
chasing the light,
with glee.

the ones in darkness,
pretend to smile,
in hopes of joining the fun,
while they avoid the light.

but without the light,
the clouds of doubt,
and the horrors of uncertainty,
claw at their hearts.

the ones in the light,
have faces so very bright,
clear and visible, their sight,
and all their questions, answered,

they know the true nature,
of those in the dark,
call upon their Lord,
to guide them,
as He has guided those alight before.

they ask Him to keep them steadfast,
on His lighted path,
so they all reach the best destination,
paradise.
