Darkness

Darkness...
In the dark, one stands alone.
Stands and shivers in the cold.
I do not know who this is at first.
Is it a human?
Is it a meaning or symbol of life?
I do not know.
The darkness gets cooler and cooler.
It is no so cold, that ice begins to form.
I still cannot recognize who or what it is.
I step closer, trying to see.
Wanting to know what the figure is.
The figure draws near.
As I creep closer, I start to see parts of the figure.
I gasp.
I know this figure.
How could I not know?
I step back in disbelief.
The figure is life.
My life.
Your life.
The darkness swarms around the cold figure.
The darkness covers it.
In a blink of an eye, it's gone.
And I'm left standing alone.
Alone in the cold, cold dark.
I am know my own life.
Not trying to please others.
On my own.
Ready to begin a new journey...
