Caverns of Light
Her soul was lying in wait. Her eyes searched all around. She found herself below the Earth, wandering through caverns of light.
The heavenly sight opened the third eye she kept closed. Night turned into day and day turned into night as she touched the walls of this secret place.
Time was nothing now. She had escaped the sunset. Death waited for her to emerge, but stood there disappointed.
She crept, then walked, then ran through the caverns of light. The power inside whispered its secrets to her. She laughed then wept at the truth she was told.
There was a knock that echoed throughout. There was a baby’s cry that fell on deaf hearts. There was a magic that no one believed in.
She came to a pool of celestial desire. The power seemed to call to her. She dipped her hand in. She felt a spark. She smiled and jumped in.
How could she foresee the visions that came to her? How could she have known the universe was lying in wait for her to explore its caverns of light?
There was a taste of fear as she spilled into the cosmos. That fear was vanquished as she crossed the roads of infinite dimensions.
Nothing was held back. All was revealed to her. The tune called to her and she answered. She heard its sound and sang along.
Still, it made her wonder. All the beauty, all the darkness within the light. She watched the universes creation and bore witness to its destruction.
She saw a lady she thought she knew. Pushing a stone up a cliff. At the top the stone broke and scattered into a trillion stars.
In that moment she knew that the loneliness she had in the world she left behind, had been swallowed up in the wholeness of the night.
The mistress of life kissed her cheek. The patron saint of sinners raised her up. The queen of the undying welcomed her with a crown of nebulas.
She felt her existence fading into the unknown. In the blackness she carved her definitions. This place she had found could no longer hold her.
She tore reality to pieces. Creating passageways of shimmering colors. She passed through, into the unknown. As the caverns of light glimmered one last time for her.
