Electric light passes for life

in this darkness,

rising, fading, rising

like a beating heart,

a chest rising and falling

with each breath taken, desperate

gulps of air in to the lungs,

grasping to each minute

as it falls away to

become the past,

life becoming memories

and death,

death all around,

the darkness waiting

knowing in the end

it will become all there is.
