abyss..
just something i wrote for our school paper way back first year college.. again, i found it while i was browsing through my files and i felt like sharing it to all of you.. one more thing, i encourage you to go over the files in your computer, surely, one way or another, you’ll find a treasure worth remembering there.. so, here goes..
Abyss
I gazed upon the horizon, yet I saw nothing,
The sound of silence has captured my being.
The waves of darkness filled me to the very core,
My existence nears its end, that I couldn’t ignore.
Little by little, I heard some voices,
Ricochets, I grasped from all courses.
Trembling I am and full of fear,
For the road I’m taking seems very unclear.
I glanced around and a silhouette of a lad I noticed,
I tried to call him but the music of my voice has momentarily vanished.
I clenched my throat trying to produce a sound,
But nothing seems to come out, I fell to the ground.
As I lay here in this torturing abyss,
My life flashed before me and all the memories.
I never quite imagined the scenes before me,
But those were the things I did and that was reality.
Images of certain people glinted before my very eyes,
My mom, my dad and my brothers, those aren’t lies.
I extended my frail and feeble arms to get hold of them,
But they were so far away, my tears, indeed, I am condemned.
What is this? What happened to me?
I want to live and I wanna be free.
But it seems they are all far away, departed and dead,
For those are just thoughts resonating around my head,
I’m sorry, forgive me, please do give me another chance.
Tell me, will you, I’m just trapped in my endless trance.
Someone came and touched my hand; I looked above and then saw a beam,
Tears and smiles spread across my face, I thank God for it was all a dream.
