Vortex; Abyss

VORTEX


Once

I was falling.


Or maybe the universe was falling

Calling me back to the place where I came from.


There were... It was all

Too much

For me.


Too much sensations

Too much pasts

Too much futures-that-might-never-be

Too much futures-gone-forever

Like mine.


And there were

People I had never met

And yet I knew them.


People I couldn't see

But I heard their voices before they went away,

I felt their fingers touching my icy skin.

I knew them. I know you.


ABYSS


And as I was drowning

In this land of silence

In this land of nothingness

In this land which was the path to the Void,


You grabbed me

And it was like a lightning bolt striking me

Hard.


I was feeling good in the land of silence,

Peaceful,

For once.

But you breathed me back to light.

You breathed me back to life.

Your breath,

You gave me yours.


Now my eyes are wide open.

And I can see faces flashing to my eyes,

Faces of my people,

Faces I don't know and yet I recognize:

Faces of the left-behind-in-the-land-of-silence.


Each time, I greet them silently,

For silence was how we used to speak

For the border is thin and they're not far from us.


And I see their faces.

Fading in a vortex.

Fading in the darkness.

Fading in the All.

Faces of my people

Who dared

Bringing me back

To life.


Now I come back to the surface

And I breathe

Again

And again.


In some way,

I'm taking back

With me

All those who stayed underwater

Drowned

In the Abyss. All of us

And I promise you:

The World will remember


He will remember all of us.

The sunken ones

The fighting ones

And the ones who came back,

Breathing with pain

Because the air outside was cold as ice

Burning like a fire

Sharp as the blade of a knife


Because we're all one and the same

Linked forever

By the darkest light of the Abyss.
