What do you want?

I look to right and left,
I Look forward
but there is nothing
only darkness
the overwhelming blackness
that presses on my eyes
that crushes my hope
that squeezes my life.

In the dark I perceive a sound
the whisper of hope
I struggle against the consuming emptiness
and hear him say
what do you want?

I want the darkness to lift
and light to flood my being
and set me free.
