WHITE LIGHT
by Chrissy Engstrom

darkness envelops my mind
confusion and frustration
occupy my soul.

A white light, a tiny white light
a light upon which
I cannot focus.
I must have it
I cannot live without it
but I cannot reach it
I cannot have what
is mine

eagerness destroys
logical thought
desperation contorts
my limbs.
I must have my white light
I cannot reach it
I am dying.

Only in death do I see
that my white light was
not life
it was death itself.
I now have my
white light.
